signatures  to  the  attached  section  were  made  in  his  presence,  and  that  to  the  best  of 
his  knowledge  and  belief,  each  sigLature  to  the  section  is  the  genuine  signature  of  the 
person  whose  name  it  purports  to  be ;  and  no  other  affidavit  thereto  shall  be  required. 
The  affidavit  of  any  verification  deputy  obtaining  signatures  hereunder  shall  be 
verified  free  of  charge  by  any  officer  authorized  to  administer  an  oath.  Such  nomi- 
nation paper  so  verified  shall  be  prima  facie  evidence  that  the  signatures  thereto 
appended  are  genuine  and  that  the  persons  signing  the  same  are  registered  qualified 
electors,  unless  and  until  it  is  otherwise  proven  by  comparison  of  such  signatures 
with  the  affidavits  of  registration  in  the  office  of  the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of 
voters.  Each  section  of  the  nomination  paper,  after  being  verified,  shall  be  returned 
by  the  verification  deputy  who  circulated  it  to  one  of  the  five  electors  by  whom  the 
said  verification  deputy  was  appointed :  and  in  this  manner  all  the  sections  circulated 
in  any  county  shall  be  collected  by  said  five  electors  of  that  county  and  shall  be  by 
them  arranged  for  filing  or  for  examination,  as  provided  in  subdivision  4  of  this  sec- 
tion. In  case  said  verification  deputy  was  appointed  directly  by  the  candidate  accord- 
ing to  the  provisions  of  subdivision  2  (o)  of  this  section,  the  collecting  and  arranging 
of  the  sections  of  the  nomination  paper  shall  be  done  by  the  candidate  instead  of  by 
the  "five  electors"  as  hereinbefore  provided.  Each  section  of  the  nomination  paper 
shall  be  in  substance  as  follows :

or  no  party)  does  not  appear  on  said  affidavit  as  intending  to  affiliate  with  the  party 
namedi  in  such  nomination  papers.  Such  officer  shall  affix  to  all  nomination  papers 
a  certificate  reciting  that  he  has  examined  the  same  and  stating  the  number  of 
names  signed  thereto  which  have  not  been  marked  "not  sufficient"  as  hereinabove 
iJrovided.  All  nomination  papers  which  by  this  act  are  required  to  be  filed  in  the 
office  of  the  secretary  of  state,  shall  be  left  with  the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of 
voters  for  examination,  as  above  provided,  at  least  forty  days  prior  to  the  August

of  the  deputies  in  the  office  of  such  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters,  nor  within 
one  hundred  feet  of  any  election  booth,  polling  place,  or  any  place  where  registration 
of  electors  is  being  conducted.  Each  candidate  on  or  before  the  thirty-fifth  day 
prior  to  the  August  primary  election  or  the  May  presidential  primary  election,  shall 
file  in  the  place  where  his  nomination  paper  is  required  to  be  filed,  as  provided  in 
section  G  of  this  act,  his  affidavit,  stating  his  residence,  with  street  and  number,  if 
any ;  his  election  precinct ;  that  he  is  a  qualified  elector  in  the  election  precinct  in 
which  ho  resides ;  the  name  of  the  office  for  which  he  desires  to  be  a  candidate ;  and 
that  if  nominated  he  will  accept  such  nomination  and  not  withdraw,  and  that  he  will 
qualify  as  such  officer  if  nominated  and  elected ;  and  he  shall  also  make  the  state- 
ment i-equired  in  subdivision  5  of  section  G  of  this  act.  Nothing  in  this  act  contained 
shall  be  construed  to  limit  the  rights  of  any  person  to  become  the  candidate  of  more 
than  one  political  party  for  the  same  office  upon  complying  with  the  requirements 
of  this  act,  but  no  person  shall  be  entitled  to  become  a  candidate  for  more  than  one 
office  at  the  same  election. 

5.  Except  in  the  case  of  a  candidate  for  nomination  to  a  judicial  office,  school 
office,  county  office,  or  township  office,  nomination  papers  shall  be  signed  as  follows : 
If  the  candidate  is  the  candidate  for  an  office  to  be  voted  on  throughout  the  state, 
by  not  less  than  one  half  of  one  per  centum  and  not  more  than  two  per  centum  of 
the  vote  or  registration  constituting  the  basis  of  percentage  as  defined  in  sub- 
division 6  of  this  section  of  the  party  of  the  candidate  seeking  nomination,  within 
the  state ;  if  the  candidate  is  the  candidate  for  an  office  to  be  voted  on  in  some 
political  subdivision  of  the  state,  but  not  throughout  the  state,  by  not  less  than  one 
per  centum  nor  more  than  two  per  centum  of  the  vote  or  registration  constituting 
the  basis  of  percentage,  as  defined  in  subdivision  6  of  this  section,  of  the  party  of 
the  candidate  seeking  nomination  within  said  political  subdivision  in  which  such 
candidate  seeks  nomination. 

6.  Except  in  case  of  a  candidate  for  nomination  to  a  judicial  office,  school  office, 
county  office,  or  township  office,  the  basis  of  percentage  in  each  case  shall  be  the 
highest  vote  polled  by  the  party  for  any  such  candidate  as  may  have  been  the  can- 
didate of  such  party  only,  at  the  preceding  general  election,  or,  if  there  was  no 
candidate  who  was  the  candidate  of  such  party  only,  the  basis  of  percentage  shall 
be  the  lowest  vote  received  by  any  candidate  who  was  the  joint  candidate  of  such 
party  and  of  one  or  more  other  parties ;  and  if  the  candidate  is  the  candidate  of  a 
party  which  had  no  candidate  at  the  preceding  general  election,  then  the  basis  of 
percentage  shall  be  upon  the  number  of  qualified  electors  who,  on  or  before  the 
fiftieth  day  prior  to  the  primary  election,  shall  in  registering  have  declared  their 
intention  to  affiliate  with  such  party.  Every  political  party  qualified  to  participate 
in  the  primary  election  by  the  provisions  of  subdivision  8  of  section  1  of  this  act, 
whose  membership  or  members  shall  comply  with  the  provisions  of  this  act  by  filing 
nomination  papers  for  one  or  more  candidates,  shall  be  entitled  to  a  separate  party 
ticket  at  the  primary  election ;  but  all  such  party  tickets  must  be  alike  in  the  desig- 
nation of  candidates  for  judicial,  school,  county,  and  township  offices. 

7.  Whenever  by  rearrangement  of  political  subdivisions  of  the  state  by  any  legis- 
lature, board  of  supervisors  or  other  legislative  body,  the  boundaries  of  such  political 
subdivisions  are  changed,  the  highest  vote  polled  by  each  party  in  each  of  the  new 
political  subdivisions  shall  be  determined  as  follows :  If  the  change  occurs  wholly 


DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.  11 

within  any  county  or  city  and  county,  the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  of  such 
county  or  city  and  county  shall  determine  as  nearly  as  possible  the  highest  vote  of 
each  party  in  the  new  political  subdivision  by  adding  together  for  each  party  the 
highest  vote  in  each  of  the  former  precincts  which  now  are  combined  to  mjike  up  such 
new  political  subdivision.  If  the  change  occurs  outside  the  limits  of  any  county 
or  city  and  county,  the  secretary  of  state  shall  determine  the  highest  vote  of  each 
party  in  such  new  political  subdivision  by  adding  together  for  each  party  the  highest 
vote  in  the  counties  which  now  are  combined  to  make  up  such  new  political  sub- 
division. In  the  same  way  that  the  highest  vote  for  each  party  in  each  new  political 
subdivision  is  ascertained,  shall  also  be  ascertained  the  total  vote  of  all  parties,  as 
is  required  to  be  known  by  the  provisions  of  subdivision  9  of  this  section. 

8.  Nothing  herein  shall  be  construed  as  prohibiting  the  independent  nomination 
of  candidates  as  provided  by  section  1188  of  the  Political  Code,  as  said  section  was 
enacted  at  the  fortieth  session  of  the  legislature  of  the  State  of  California ;  except 
that  a  candidate  who  has  filed  nomination  papers  as  one  of  the  candidates  for 
nomination  to  any  office  on  the  ballots  of  any  political  party  at  a  primary  election 
held  under  the  provisions  of  this  act,  and  who  is  defeated  for  such  party  nomination 
at  such  primary  election,  shall  be  ineligible  for  nomination  to  the  same  ofiice  at  the 
ensuing  general  election,  either  as  an  independent  candidate  or  as  the  candidate  of 
any  other  party,  and  no  person  shall  be  permitted  to  file  nomination  papers  for  a 
party  nomination  and  an  independent  nomination  for  the  same  office,  or  for  more 
than  one  office  at  the  same  election.  Nor  shall  any  person  whose  name  has  been 
written  in  upon  any  ballot  or  ballots  for  any  office  at  any  primary  election,  have 
his  name  placed  upon  the  ballot  as  a  candidate  for  such  office  at  the  ensuing  general 
election,  except  under  the  provisions  of  section  1188  of  the  Political  Code,  unless 
at  such  primary  election  he  shall  have  received  for  such  office  votes  equal  in  number 
to  the  minimum  number  of  nomination  papers  which  would  have  been  required  to  be 
filed  to  have  placed  his  name  on  the  primary  ballot  as  a  candidate  for  nomination 
to  such  office. 

9.  In  the  case  of  a  candidate  for  nomiuation  to  a  judicial  office,  school  office, 
county  office,  or  township  office,  nomination  papers  shall  be  signed  by  not  less  than 
one  half  of  one  per  centum,  nor  more  than  two  per  centum  of  the  total  vote  cast 
by  all  political  parties  at  the  last  election  in  the  state  or  political  subdivision  thereof 
in  which  such  candidate  for  judicial  or  school,  county,  or  township  office  seeks 
nomination,

which  he  shall  enter  the  names  of  all  persons  filing  the  same,  the  name  of  the  office, 
the  party,  if  any,  and  the  time  of  filing.

candidate  and  except  in  the  case  of  a  judicial  office,  or  a  school  office  of  the  party 
or  principle  he  represents.  Such  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  shall  forthwith, 
upon  receipt  thereof,  publish  under  the  proper  party  designation  the  title  of  each

but  to  any  elector  registered  as  intending  to  affiliate  with  any  political  party  par- 
ticipating in  the  primary  there  shall  be  furnished,  not  a  non-partisan  ballot,  but  a

affiliate. 


14  DIRECT   PRIMARY  LAW. 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  county  clerk  of  each  county  or  of  the  registrar  of  voters 
in  any  city  and  county  to  provide  such  printed  oflScial  ballots  to  be  used  at  any 
August  primary  election  for  the  nomination  of  candidates  to  be  voted  for  in  such 
county  or  city  and  county  at  the  ensuing  November  election  and  at  any  May  presi- 
dential primary  election.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  city  clerk  or  secretary  of  the 
legislative  body  of  any  municipality  to  provide  such  printed  official  ballots  for  any  pri- 
mary election  other  than  the  August  primary  election  or  the  May  presidential  primary 
election.  Such  official  ballots  to  be  used  at  any  primary  election  shall  be  printed  on 
official  paper,  furnished  by  the  secretary  of  state,  in  the  manner  provided  by  section 
1196  of  the  Political  Code,  and  in  the  form  hereinafter  provided.  The  names  of  all 
candidates  for  the  respective  offices  for  whom  the  prescribed  nomination  papers

2.  Official  primary  election  ballots  used  at  any  primary  election  for  the  nomina- 
tion of  candidates  to  be  voted  for  at  any  presidential  or  general  state  election, 
except  as  provided  in  subdivision  5  of  this  section,  shall  be  as  long  as  the  herein 
prescribed  captions,  headings,  party  designations,  directions  to  voters  and  lists  of 
names  of  candidates,  properly  subdivided  according  to  the  several  offices  to  be  nomi- 
nated for,  may  require ;  and  no  official  primary  election  ballot  shall  be  less  than 
six  and  one  half  inches  wide. 

3.  Across  tlie  top  of  the  ballot  shall  be  printed  in  heavy  faced  gothic  capital  type, 
not  smaller  than  forty-eight  point,  the  words:  "Official  Primary  Election  Ballot;" 
providing,  that  on  a  non-partisan  ballot  said  words  may  be  printed  in  gothic  capital 
type  not  smaller  than  twenty-four  point.  Beneath  this  heading  shall  be  printed  in 
heavy  faced  gothic  capital  type,  not  smaller  than  twenty-four  point,  the  party 
designation  if  it  be  a  party  ballot ;  or,  in  the  case  of  a  ballot  containing  the  names 
of  no  candidates  except  candidates  for  a  judicial,  school,  county,  or  township  office, 
the  words  "Non-Partisan  Ballot."  The  instructions  to  voters  shall  be  printed  in 
ten  point  gothic  type.  In  the  case  of  official  primary  election  ballots  to  be  used  at 
any  primary  election  held  for  the  nomination  of  candidates  other  than  those  to  be 
voted  for  at  a  presidential  or  a  general  state  election,  and  on  which,  in  accordance 
with  the  provisions  of  this  act,  the  names  of  candidates  may  be  printed  in  a  single 
column  or  in  two  parallel  columns,  as  the  case  may  be,  the  words  "Official  Primary 
Election  Ballot"  shall  be  printed  thereon  in  heavy  faced  gothic  capital  type,  not 
smaller  than  twenty-four  point.  The  party  or  non-partisan  designation  shall  be 
printed  in  heavy  faced  gothic  capital  type,  not  smaller  than  eighteen  point.  The

the  date  of  the  primary  election  shall  be  printed  in  ten  point  gothic  type,  double 
leaded,  the  following  instructions  to  voters :  "To  vote  for  a  person  whose  name 
occurs  on  the  ballot,  stamp  a  cross  (  X  )  in  the  square  at  the  right  of  the  name  of 
the  person  for  whom  you  desire  to  vote.  To  vote  for  a  person  whose  name  is  not 
printed  on  the  ballot,  write  his  name  in  the  blank  space  provided  for  that 
purpose." 

5.  The  instructions  to  voters  shall  be  separated  from  the  lists  of  candidates  and 
the  designations  of  the  several  offices  to  be  nominated  for  by  one  light  and  one  heavy 
line  or  rule.  The  names  of  the  candidates  and  the  respective  offices  shall,  except  as 
may  be  hereinafter  otherwise  provided,  be  printed  on  the  ballot  in  four  or  more 
parallel  columns,  each  two  and  one  half  inches  wide.  The  number  of  such  parallel 
columns  shall  be  exactly  divisible  by  two,  and  such  parallel  columns  shall  be  equally 
divided  on  the  ballot  for  party  and  non-partisan  tickets  by  a  solid  black  line,  extending 
down  from  the  printed  lines  separating  the  instructions  to  voters  from  the  list  of  names 
of  candidates  to  the  bottom  margin  of  the  ballot.  In  the  case  of  a  primary  election 
for  the  nomination  of  candidates  to  be  voted  for  at  a  presidential  or  general  state 
election,  the  order  of  precedence  shall  be  as  follows,  that  is  to  say :  In  the  column 
to  the  left,  under  the  heading  state  shall  be  printed  the  groups  of  names  of  candi- 
dates for  state  offices,  except  judicial  and  school  offices,  and  for  members  of  the  state 
board  of  equalization.  In  the  second  column,  under  the  heading  congressional  shall 
be  printed  the  groups  of  names  for  United  States  senator  in  congress,  if  any,  and  for 
representative  in  congress.     Next,  under  the  heading  legislative  shall  be  printed  the 


DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.  15 

groups  of  names  for  state  senator,  if  any,  for  member  of  assembly,  and  for  election 
as  delegate  to  the  state  convention  from  a  "hold-over  senatorial  district,"  if  any. 
Finally  under  the  heading  county  committee,  shall  be  printed  the  names  of  the 
candidates  for  election  to  membership  in  the  county  central  committee  of  the  party. 
In  the  case  of  primarj-  elections  where  state  officers  are  not  to  be  nominated,  at  the 
left  of  the  solid  black  dividing  line  there  may  be  only  one  column.  In  the  parallel 
columns  to  the  right  of  the  solid  black  dividing  line  shall  be  printed  the  groups  of 
names  of  candidates  for  nomination  to  judicial,  school,  county,  and  township  offices 
in  the  following  order:  Under  the  heading  judicial  shall  be  printed  all  the  names 
of  candidates  for  judicial  offices,  in  the  order  of  chief  justice  supreme  court,  associate 
justices  supreme  court,  judge  of  district  court  of  appeals,  judge  of  superior  court  and 
justice  of  the  peace.  Next,  under  the  heading  school  shall  be  printed  all  the  names 
of  candidates  for  school  offices  in  the  order  of  state  superintendent  of  instruction, 
superintendent  of  schools,  and  school  district  officers,  if  any.  Next,  under  the  heading 
county  and  township  shall  be  printed  the  groups  of  candidates  for  all  county  and 
township  offices  except  judicial  or  school  offices.  In  the  case  of  primary  elections 
where  county  officers  are  not  to  be  nominated,  at  the  right  of  the  solid  black  dividing 
line  there  may  be  only  one  column.  The  non-partisan  ballot  provided  for  in  subdivi- 
sion one  of  this  section  shall  be  identical  as  to  offices  and  names  of  candidates  with  that 
portion  of  the  party  ballot  which  is  printed  to  the  right  of  the  solid  black  dividing  line 
hereinabove  described.  The  tally  sheets  furnished  to  election  officers  shall  have  the 
names  of  offices  and  candidates  arranged  in  the  order  in  which  said  names  of  officers  and 
candidates  are  printed  on  the  ballots  according  to  the  provisions  of  this  section  and 
subdivision.  In  the  case  of  primary  elections  for  the  nomination  of  candidates  for 
city,  city  and  county  or  municipal  offices  only,  the  groups  of  names  of  candidates 
may  be  printed  in  two  parallel  columns  and  the  order  of  precedence  shall  be  deter- 
mined by  the  legislative  body  of  such  city  or  municipality  or  by  the  board  of  election 
commissioners  of  any  such  city  and  county. 

6.  The  group  of  names  of  candidates  for  nomination  to  any  judicial  office,  school 
office,  county  office,  or  township  office  shall  include  all  the  names  receiving  the 
requisite  number  of  signatures  on  a  nomination  paper  for  such  office,  and  shall  be 
identical  for  each  such  office  on  the  primary  election  ballots  of  each  political  party 
participating  at  the  primary  election ;  but  the  groups  of  names  of  candidates  for  all 
other  offices  on  the  ballots  of  each  political  party  shall  comprise  only  the  names  of 
the  candidates  for  nomination  by  such  party. 

7.  The  order  in  which  the  list  of  candidates  for  any  office  shall  appear  upon  the 
primary  election  ballot  shall  be  determined  as  follows: 

(o)  If  the  office  is  an  office  the  candidates  for  which  are  to  be  voted  on  through- 
out the  entire  state,  including  United  States  senator  in  congress,  the  secretary  of 
state  shall  arrange  the  names  of  all  candidates  for  such  office  in  alphabetical  order 
for  thf}  first  assembly  district;  and  thereafter  for  each  succeeding  assembly  district, 
the  name  appearing  first  for  each  office  in  the  last  preceding  district  shall  be  placed 
last,  the  order  of  the  other  names  remaining  unchanged.  If  the  office  is  that  of 
representative  in  congress,  or  is  an  office  the  candidates  for  nomination  to  which  are 
to  be  voted  on  in  more  than  one  county  or  city  and  county,  but  not  throughout  the 
entire  state,  except  the  office  of  state  senator  or  assemblyman,  the  secretary  of  state 
shall  arrange  the  names  of  all  candidates  for  such  office  in  alphabetical  order  for  that 
assembly  district  which  is  lowest  in  numerical  order  of  any  assembly  district  in  which 
such  candidates  are  to  be  voted  on  ;  and  thereafter  for  such  succeeding  assembly  district 
in  which  such  candidates  are  to  be  voted  on,  the  name  appearing  first  for  such  office 
in  the  last  preceding  district  shall  be  placed  last,  the  order  of  the  other  names  remain- 
ing unchanged.  In  transmitting  to  each  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  the  certi- 
fied list  of  names  as  required  in  section  10  of  this  act,  the  secretary  of  state  shall 
certify  and  transmit  the  list  of  candidates  for  nomination  to  each  office  according  to 
assembly  districts,  in  the  order  of  arrangement  as  determined  by  the  above  provisions; 
and  in  the  case  of  each  county  or  city  and  county  containing  more  than  one  assembly 
district  he  shall  transmit  separate  lists  for  each  assembly  district.  Except  for  the 
office  of  state  senator  or  assemblyman,  the  order  in  which  the  names  filed  with  the 
secretary  of  state  shall  appear  upon  the  ballot,  shall  be  for  each  assembly  district  the

and  as  certified  and  transmitted  by  him  to  each  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters. 

(6)  If  the  office  is  an  office  to  be  voted  on  throughout,  but  wholly  within,  one 
county  or  city  and  county,  except  the  office  of  representative  in  congress  or  state 
senator  or  assemblyman,  the  county  clerk  of  such  county  or  the  registrar  of  voters 
of  such  city  and  county,  shall  arrange  the  names  of  all  candidates  for  such  office  in 
alphabetical  order  for  the  first  supervisorial  district ;  and  thereafter  for  each  super- 
visorial district,  the  name  appearing  first  for  each  such  office  in  the  last  preceding 
supervisorial  district  shall  be  placed  last,  the  order  of  the  other  names  remaining 
unchanged ;  provided,  there  are  no  more  than  five  assembly  districts  in  such  county, 
or  city  and  county.  If  there  are  more  than  five  assembly  districts  in  such  county,  or 
city  and  county,  the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  shall  so  arrange  on  the 
ballot  the  order  of  names  of  all  candidates  for  such  office  that  they  shall  appear  in 
alphabetical  order  for  that  assembly  district  in  such  county,  or  city  and  county, 
which  is  lowest  in  numerical  order,  and  thereafter  for  each  succeeding  assembly 
district  in  such  county,  or  city  and  county,  the  name  appearing  first  for  each  office 
in  the  last  preceding  assembly  district  shall  be  placed  last,  the  order  of  the  other 
names  remaining  unchanged. 

(c)  If  the  office  is  that  of  state  senator  or  assemblyman,  or  delegate  to  the  state 
convention  from  a  "hold-over  senatorial  district,"  or  member  of  a  county  central 
committee,  or  any  office  except  the  office  of  representative  in  congress  to  be  voted 
on  wholly  within  any  county  or  city  and  county  but  not  throughout  such  county 
or  city  or  county,  the  names  of  all  candidates  for  such  office  shall  be  placed  upon 
the  ballot  in  alphabetical  order. 

(d)  If  the  office  is  a  municipal  office  in  any  city  or  town  whose  charter  does  not 
provide  for  the  order  in  which  names  shall  appear  on  the  ballot,  the  names  of 
candidates  for  such  office  shall  be  placed  upon  the  ballot  in  alphabetical  order. 

8.  In  publishing  the  names  and  addresses  of  all  candidates  for  whom  nomination 
papers  have  been  filed,  as  required  in  section  10  of  this  act,  the  county  clerk  or 
registrar  of  voters  shall  publish  the  names  in  the  order  in  which  they  will  appear 
upon  the  ballot;  provided,  that  in  counties  or  cities  and  counties  containing  more 
than  one  assembly  district  the  order  of  names  of  candidates  shall  be  that  of  the 
assembly  district  in  such  county  or  city  and  county  which  is  lowest  in  numerical 
order. 

9.  Each  group  of  candidates  to  be  voted  on  shall  be  preceded  by  the  designation 
of  the  office  for  which  the  candidates  seek  nomination,  and  the  words  *'Vote  for 
One"  or  "Vote  for  Two"  or  more  according  to  the  number  to  be  elected  to  such 
office  at  the  ensuing  election.  Such  designation  of  the  office  to  be  nominated  for  and 
of  the  number  of  candidates  to  be  nominated  shall  be  printed  in  heavy  faced  gothic 
type,  not  smaller  than  ten  point.  The  word  or  words  designating  the  office  shall  be 
printed  flush  with  the  left-hand  margin  and  the  words  "Vote  for  One"  or  "Vote  for 
Two"  or  more,  as  the  case  may  be,  shall  extend  to  the  extreme  right  of  the  column 
and  over  the  voting  square.  The  designation  of  the  office  and  the  direction  for 
voting  shall  be  separated  from  the  names  of  the  candidates  by  a  light  line. 

10.  The  names  of  the  candidates  shall  be  printed  on  the  ballot  without  indentation, 
in  roman  capital  type  not  smaller  than  eight  point,  between  light  lines  or  rules  three 
eighths  of  an  inch  apart.  Under  each  group  of  names  of  candidates  shall  be  printed 
as  many  blank  spaces,  defined  by  light  lines  or  rules,  three  eighths  of  an  inch  apart, 
as  there  are  to  be  candidates  nominated  for  such  office.  To  the  right  of  the  names 
of  the  candidates  shall  be  printed  a  light  line  or  rule  so  as  to  form  a  voting  square 
three  eighths  of  an  inch  square.  Each  group  of  names  of  candidates  shall  be  sepa- 
rated from  the  succeeding  group  by  one  light  and  one  heavy  line  or  rule.  Each 
series  of  groups  shall  be  headed  by  the  word  "State,"  "Congressional,"  "Legislative," 
"County  and  Township"  or  "Municipal"  or  other  proper  general  classification,  as  the 
case  may  be,  printed  in  heavy  faced  gothic  capital  type,  not  smaller  than  twelve  point. 
All  official  primary  election  ballots  shall  have  printed  on  the  back  and  immediately 
below  the  center  thereof,  in  eighteen  point  gothic  capital  type,  the  words  "Official 
Primary  Election  Ballot,"  and  underneath  these  words  the  respective  numbers  of  the 
congressional,  senatorial  and  assembly  districts  in  which  each  ballot  is  to  be  voted.

18  DIllECt  PRIMARY  LAW. 

In  the  case  of  a  primary  election  for  the  nomination  of  candidates  for  city  or  city 
and  county  offices  only,  the  designations  on  the  back  of  the  ballot,  in  addition  to  the 
words  "Official  Primary  Election  Ballot,"  shall  be  the  official  designation  of  the 
respective  ward  and  voting  precinct  in  any  such  city  or  municipality,  or  the  number 
of  the  assembly  district  and  of  the  voting  precinct  in  any  such  city  and  county  in 
which  each  ballot  is  to  be  voted.  The  ballot  shall  be  printed  on  the  same  leaf  with 
a  stub  and  separated  therefrom  by  a  perforated  line  across  the  top  of  the  ballot. 
On  each  ballot  a  perforated  line  shall  extend  from  top  to  bottom  one  half  inch  from 
the  right  hand  side  of  such  ballot,  and  upon  the  half-inch  strip  thus  formed  there 
shall  be  no  printing  except  the  number  of  the  ballot  which  shall  be  on  the  back  of 
each  strip,  in  such  position  that  it  shall  appear  on  the  outside  when  the  ballot  is

20  DIRECT   PRIMARY  LAW. 

Sample  ballots. 

Sec.  13.  At  least  twenty  days  before  the  August  primary  election  or  before  the 
May  presidential  primary  election  each  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  in  any 
city  and  county  shall  prepare  separate  sample  ballots  for  each  political  party,  and  a 
separate  sample  non-partisan  ballot,  placing  thereon  in  each  case  in  the  order  pro- 
yided  in  subdivision  7  of  section  12  of  this  act,  and  under  the  appropriate  title  of 
each  office,  the  names  of  all  candidates  for  whom  nomination  papers  have  been  duly 
filed  with  him,  or  have  been  certified  to  him  by  the  secretary  of  state,  to  be  voted 
for  at  the  primary  election  in  his  county  or  city  and  county.  Such  sample  ballots 
shall  be  printed  on  paper  of  a  different  texture  from  the  paper  to  be  used  on  the 
official  ballot,  and  one  sample  ballot  of  the  party  to  which  the  voter  belongs  as 
evidenced  by  his  registration  shall  be  mailed  to  each  such  voter  entitled  to  vote  at 
such  August  primary  election  or  May  presidential  primary  election,  as  the  case  may 
be,  not  more  than  ten  nor  less  than  five  days  before  the  election.  Not  more  than 
ten  nor  less  than  five  days  before  the  August  primary  election  a  non-partisan  sample 
ballot  printed  on  paper  of  a  different  texture  from  the  paper  to  be  used  on  the 
official  ballot  shall  be  mailed  to  each  registered  qualified  elector  who  is  not  registered 
as  intending  to  affiliate  with  any  of  the  parties  participating  in  said  primary 
election.  Such  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  shall  forthwith  submit  the  ticket  of  each 
political  party  to  the  chairman  of  the  county  committee  of  such  party  and  shall  mail 
a  copy  to  each  candidate  for  whom  nomination  papers  have  been  filed  with  him  or 
whose  name  has  been  certified  to  him  by  the  secretary  of  state,  to  the  post-office 
address  as  given  in  such  nomination  paper  or  certification,  and  he  shall  post  a  copy 
of  each  sample  ballot  in  a  conspicuous  place  in  his  office.  Before  such  primary 
election  the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  in  any  city  and  county  shall  cause 
the  official  ballot  to  be  printed  as  provided  by  section  12  of  this  act,  and  distributed 
in  the  same  manner  and  in  the  same  quantities  as  provided  in  sections  1198,  1199 
and  1201  of  the  Political  Code  for  the  distribution  of  ballots  for  elections;  provided, 
that  the  number  of  party  ballots  to  be  furnished  to  any  precinct  shall  be  computed 
from  the  number  of  voters  registered  in  such  precinct  as  intending  to  affiliate  with 
such  party,  and  the  number  of  non-partisan  ballots  to  be  furnished  to  any  precinct 
shall  be  computed  from  the  number  of  voters  registered  in  such  precinct  without 
statement  of  intention  to  affiliate  with  any  of  the  parties  participating  in  the 
primary  election.  In  the  case  of  primary  elections  for  the  nomination  of  candi- 
dates for  city  offices  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  city  clerk,  secretary  of  the  legislative 
body  of  such  city  or  municipality,  or  such  other  officer  charged  by  law  with  the  duty 
of  preparing  and  distributing  the  official  ballots  used  at  elections  in  such  city  or 
municipality,  to  prepare  and  mail  the  sample  ballot  and  to  prepare  and  distribute 
the  official  primary  election  ballots,  and  so  far  as  applicable  and  not  otherwise 
provided  herein  the  provisions  of  this  act  shall  apply  to  the  nomination  of  all 
candidates  for  city  offices. 

Opening  and  closing  of  polls. 

Sec.  14.  The  polls  must  be  open  at  six  o'clock  of  the  morning  of  the  day  of 
primary  election  and  must  be  kept  open  until  seven  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  of  the 
same  day,  when  the  polls  shall  be  closed ;  provided,  hotcever,  that  if  at  the  hour  of 
closing  there  are  any  voters  in  the  polling  place,  or  in  line  at  the  door,  who  are 
qualified  to  vote  and  have  not  been  able  to  do  so  since  appearing,  the  polls  shall  be 
kept  open  a  sufficient  time  to  enable  them  to  vote.  But  no  one  who  shall  arrive 
at  the  polling  place  after  seven  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  shall  be  entitled  to  vote, 
although  the  polls  may  be  open  when  he  arrives.  No  adjournment  or  intermission 
shall  be  taken  except  as  provided  in  the  case  of  general  elections. 

Election  officers. 

Sec.  15.  The  officers  for  primary  elections  shall  be  the  same,  and  shall  be 
appointed  in  the  same  manner,  as  provided  by  law  for  general  elections,  and  such 
officers  shall  receive  the  same  compensation  for  their  services  at  primary  elections 
as  provided  by  law  for  general  elections. 


DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.  21 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  proper  oflScers  to  furnish  the  original  aflSdavits  of 
registration  and  indexes  for  use  at  primary  elections,  which  shall  show  the  names 
of  all  voters  entitled  to  vote  at  such  primary  election,  and  shall  be  numbered,  for 
purposes  of  the  primary  election,  in  like  manner  as  provided  in  section  1113  of  the 
Political  Code.  And  all  the  provisions  of  section  1090  of  the  Political  Code,  so  far 
as  they  are  consistent  with  the  provisions  of  this  act,  are  hereby  made  applicable  to 
primary  elections  within  the  meaning  of  this  act. 

Challenge  of  voter. 

Sec.  16.  Any  elector  offering  to  vote  at  a  primary  election  may  be  challenged 
by  any  elector  of  the  city,  city  and  county  or  county,  upon  either  or  all  of 
the  grounds  specified  in  section  1230  of  the  Political  Code,  but  his  right  to  vote 
the  primary  election  ticket  of  the  political  party  designated  in  his  afl5Javit  of  regis- 
tration, as  provided  in  section  109C  of  the  Political  Code,  or  his  right  to  vote  the 
non-partisan  primary  ticket  providing  no  such  party  is  so  designated,  shall  not  be 
challenged  on  any  ground  or  subjected  to  any  tests  other  than  those  provided  by  the 
constitution  and  section  1230  of  the  Political  Code  of  this  state. 

Who  may  vote. 

Sec,  17.  Any  elector  qualified  to  take  part  in  any  primary  election,  who  has, 
at  least  thirty  days  before  the  day  of  such  primary  election,  qualified  by  registration, 
as  provided  by  section  109G  of  the  Political  Code,  shall  be  entitled  to  vote  at  such 
primary  election,  such  right  to  vote  being  subject  to  challenge  only  as  hereinbefore 
provided  ;  and  shall,  on  writing  his  name  or  having  it  written  for  him  on  the  roster, 
as  provided  by  law  for  general  elections  in  this  state,  receive  the  ofiicial  primary 
election  ballot  of  the  political  party  designated  in  his  affidavit  of  registration ; 
(or  the  non-partisan  ballot,  providing  no  such  party  was  so  designated),  and  no 
other;  provided,  however,  that  no  one  shall  be  entitled  to  vote  at  any  primary  elec- 
tion who  has  not  been  a  resident  of  the  state  one  year,  and  of  the  county  ninety  days, 
preceding  the  day  upon  which  such  primary  election  is  held.  He  shall  be  instructed 
by  a  member  of  the  board  as  to  the  proi)er  method  of  marking  and  folding  his 
ballot,  and  he  shall  then  retire  to  an  unoccupied  booth  and  without  undue  delay 
stamp  the  same  with  the  rubber  stamp  there  found.  If  he  shall  spoil  or  deface  the 
ballot  he  shall  at  once  return  the  same  to  the  ballot  clerk  and  receive  another. 

Ballots,  how  marked. 

Sec.  18.  The  voter  shall  designate  his  choice  on  the  ballot  by  stamping  a  cross 
(  X  )  in  the  small  square  opposite  the  name  of  each  candidate  for  whom  he  wishes 
to  vote.  If  he  shall  stamp  more  names  than  there  are  candidates  to  be  nominated 
for  any  office,  or  if  for  any  reason  it  be  impossible  to  determine  his  choice  for  any 
office,  his  ballot  shall  not  be  counted  for  such  office,  but  the  rest  of  his  ballot,  if 
properly  stamped,  shall  be  counted.  No  ballot  shall  be  rejected  for  any  technicifl 
error  which  does  not  render  it  impossible  to  determine  the  voter's  choice,  nor  even 
though  such  ballot  be  somewhat  soiled  or  defaced. 

Ballots,  hov^  folded. 

Sec.  19.  When  a  voter  has  stamped  his  ballot  he  shall  fold  it  so  that  its  face 
shall  be  concealed  and  only  the  printed  designation  on  the  back  thereof  shall  be 
visible,  and  hand  the  same  to  the  member  of  the  board  in  charge  of  the  ballot  box. 
Such  folded  ballot  shall  be  voted  as  ballots  are  voted  at  general  elections  and  the 
name  of  the  voter  checked  upon  the  register  as  having  voted. 

No  intermission. 

Sec.  20.  No  adjournment  or  intermission  whatever  shall  take  place  until  the 
Iiolls  shall  be  closed  and  until  all  the  votes  cast  at  such  polls  shall  be  counted  and  the 
result  publicly  announced,  but  this  shall  not  be  deemed  to  prevent  any  temporary 
recess  while  taking  meals  or  for  the  purpose  of  other  necessary  delay;  provided, 
that  no  more  than  one  member  of  the  board  shall  at  any  time  be  absent  from  the 
polling  place. 


22  DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.

Sec.  21.  As  soon  as  the  polls  are  finally  closed  the  judges  must  immediately

public,  in  the  presence  of  bystanders,  and  must  be  continued  without  adjournment 
^until  completed  and  the  result  thereof  declared.  Except  as  hereinafter  provided, 
the  canvass  shall  be  conducted,  completed  and  returned  as  provided  by  sections  1253, 
1254,  1255,  1256,  1257,  1258,  1259,  12G0,  12G1,  1262,  1263,  1264,  1205,  1206,  1207 
and  120S  of  the  Political  Code  of  this  state ;  provided,  however,  that  the  ballots  of 
each  party  must  be  sealed  and  returned  in  separate  envelopes,  and  the  non-partisan 
ballots  must  be  sealed  and  returned  in  another  separate  envelope.  The  number  of 
ballots  agreeing  or  being  made  to  agree  with  the  number  of  names  on  the  lists,  as 
provided  by  section  1255  of  the  Political  Code,  the  board  must  take  the  ballots  from 
the  box,  count  those  cast  by  each  party,  and  string  them  separately ;  count  all  the 
votes  cast  for  each  party  candidate  for  the  several  offices  and  record  the  same  on 
the  tally  lists ;  and  count  all  the  votes  on  all  the  ballots,  both  party  and  non-partisan,

election,  the  officers  charged  by  law  with  the  duty  of  canvassing  the  vote  at  any  city 
or  municipal  election  in  such  political  subdivision,  shall  meet  at  the  usual  place 
of  such  meeting,  or  at  any  other  place  permitted  by  law,  at  one  o'clock  in  the

or  as  soon  thereafter  as  all  the  returns  are  in.  When  begun  the  canvass  shall  be 
continued  until  completed,  which  shall  not  be  later  than  six  o'clock  in  the  afternoon 
of  the  sixteenth  day  following  such  primary  election.  The  clerk  of  the  board  must, 
as  soon  as  the  result  is  declared,  enter  upon  the  records  of  such  board  a  statement 
of  such  result,  which  statement  shall  contain  the  whole  number  of  votes  cast  for  each 
candidate  of  each  political  party  for  each  candidate  for  each  judicial,  school,  county, 
or  township  office,  for  each  candidate  for  delegate,  if  any,  to  a  state  convention 
from  a  hold-over  senatorial  district,  and  for  each  candidate  for  membership  in  the

same  form,  showing  the  votes  cast  for  each  candidate  not  voted  for  wholly  within 
the  limits  of  such  county  or  city  and  county.  The  county  clerk  or  registrar  of 
voters  in  any  city  and  county  shall  forthwith  send  to  the  secretary  of  state  by 
registered  mail  or  by  express  one  complete  copy  of  all  returns  as  to  such  candi- 
dates, and  as  to  all  candidates  for  the  state  assembly,  state  senate,  representatives 
in  congress,  judicial  officers,  except  justices  of  the  peace,  delegate,  if  any,  to  a  state 
convention  from  a  hold-over  senatorial  district,  and  as  to  all  persons  voted  for  at 
the  May  presidential  primary  election.  The  clerk  shall  also  prepare  a  separate 
statement  of  the  names  of  the  candidates  of  each  i>olitical  party  who  have  received 
the  highest  number  of  votes  for  the  several  offices  to  be  voted  for  wholly  within  such

tices of  the  peace,  delegate,  if  any,  to  a  state  convention  from  a  hold-over  senatorial 
district,  and  for  all  persons  voted  for  at  the  May  presidential  primary  election,  and 
shall  make  out  and  file  in  his  office  a  statement  thereof.  He  shall  compile  the 
returns  for  the  May  presidential  primary  election  not  later  than  the  twenty-first  day 
after  such  election,  and  shall  compile  said  returns  in  such  a  manner  as  to  show, 
for  each  candidate,  both  the  total  of  the  votes  received  and  the  votes  received  in  each 
congressional  district  of  the  state. 


DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.  23 

Certificates  of  nomination. 

Sec.  23.  Except  in  the  case  of  a  candidate  for  nomination  to  a  judicial  office, 
school  office,  county  office,  or  township  office,  the  person  receiving  the  highest  num- 
ber of  votes,  at  a  primary  election  as  the  candidate  for  the  nomination  of  a  political 
party  for  an  office  shall  be  the  candidate  of  the  party  for  such  office,  and  his  name 
as  such  candidate  shall  be  placed  on  the  official  ballot  voted  at  the  ensuing  election ; 
provided,  he  has  paid  the  filing  fee  required  by  subdivision  8  of  section  7  of  this  act. 
The  name  of  the  person  in  each  political  party  who  receives  at  a  primary  election 
the  highest  number  of  votes  for  United  States  senator  shall  also  be  placed  on  the 
official  ballot  under  the  heading  "United  States  Senator."  In  the  case  of  a  judicial 
office,  school  office,  county  office,  or  township  office,  the  candidates  equal  in  number 
to  twice  the  number  to  be  elected  to  such  office,  or  less,  if  so  there  be,  who  receive 
the  highest  number  of  the  votes  cast  on  all  the  ballots  of  all  the  voters  participating 
in  the  primary  election  for  nomination  to  such  office,  shall  be  the  candidates  for 
such  office  at  the  ensuing  election,  and  their  names  as  such  candidates  shall  be  placed 
on  the  official  ballot  voted  at  the  ensuing  election ;  provided,  however,  that  in  case 
there  is  but  one  person  to  be  elected  at  the  November  election  to  a  judicial  office, 
school  office,  county  office,  or  township  office,  any  candidate  who  receives  at  the 
August  primary  election  a  majority  of  the  total  number  of  votes  cast  for  all  the 
candidates  for  such  office  shall  be  the  only  candidate  for  such  office  at  the  ensuing 
election.  Of  the  candidates  for  election  to  membership  in  the  county  central  com- 
mittee, the  candidates  equal  in  number  to  the  number  to  be  elected  receiving  the 
highest  number  of  votes  in  their  supervisorial  district  or  assembly  district,  as  the 
case  may  be  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  subdivision  4  of  section  24  of  this 
act,  shall  be  declared  elected  as  the  representatives  of  their  district  to  membership 
in  such  committee.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  officers  charged  with  the  canvass  of 
the  returns  of  any  primary  election  in  any  county,  city  and  county  or  municipality 
to  cause  to  be  issued  official  certificates  of  nomination  to  such  party  candidates 
as  have  received  the  highest  number  of  votes  as  the  candidates  for  the  nomination 
of  such  party  for  any  offices  to  be  voted  for  wholly  within  such  county,  city 
and  county,  or  municipality,  and  cause  to  be  issued  to  such  delegate  a  certificate 
of  his  election ;  and  to  cause  to  be  issued  official  certificates  of  nomination  to 
such  candidates  for  judicial,  school,  county,  or  township  office  as  may  be  entitled 
thereto  under  the  provisions  of  this  section.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  secre- 
tary of  state  to  issue  official  certificates  of  nomination  to  candidates  nominated 
under  the  provisions  of  this  act  for  representatives  in  congress,  members  of  the 
state  senate  and  assembly  and  officers  voted  for  in  more  than  one  county ;  and  to 
issue  certificates  of  election  to  all  persons  elected  at  the  May  presidential  primary 
election  as  delegates  to  their  respective  national  party  conventions,  and  to  notify 
each  of  said  delegates  of  the  total  vote  received  by  each  of  the  persons  voted  for  in 
his  party  at  said  election,  under  the  heading  "For  Presidential  Nominee."  Not  less 
than  thirty  days  before  the  November  election  the  secretary  of  state  shall  certify 
to  the  county  clerks  or  registrars  of  voters  of  each  county  and  city  and  county 
within  the  state,  the  name  of  every  person  entitled  to  receive  votes  within  such 
county  or  city  and  county  at  said  November  election  who  has  received  the  nomina- 
tion as  a  candidate  for  public  office  under  and  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this 
act,  and  whose  nomination  is  evidenced  by  the  compilation  and  statement  required 
to  be  made  by  said  secretary  of  state  and  filed  in  his  office,  as  provided  in  section  22 
of  this  act.  Such  certificates  shall  in  addition  to  the  names  of  such  nominees 
respectively,  also  show  separately  and  respectively  for  each  nominee  the  name  of 
the  political  party  or  organization  which  has  nominated  such  person  if  any  and  the 
designation  of  the  public  office  for  which  he  is  so  nominated.  The  secretary  of  state 
shall  also  certify  to  the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  the  names  of  those  per- 
sons who  have  received  in  their  respective  parties  the  highest  number  of  votes  for 
United  States  senator. 

Party  conventions. 

Sec.  24.  1.  Party  conventions  of  delegates  chosen  as  hereinafter  provided  may 
be  held  in  this  state,  for  the  purpose  of  promulgating  platforms  and  transacting 
such  other  business  of  the  party  as  is  not  inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of  this  act. 


24  DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW. 

2.  The  candidates  of  each  political  party  for  state  oflScers,  if  any,  except  judicial 
and  school  oflBcers,  and  such  candidates  for  senate  and  assembly  as  have  been  nom- 
inated by  such  political  party  at  the  primary  election,  and  in  whose  behalf  nomina- 
tion papers  have  been  filed,  together  with  one  delegate  chosen  by  such  political  party 
from  each  senatorial  district  represented  by  a  hold-over  senator,  shall  meet  in  a 
state  convention  at  the  state  capitol  at  two  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  of  the  third 
Tuesday  in  September  after  the  date  on  which  any  primary  election  is  held  pre- 
liminary to  the  general  November  election.  They  shall  forthwith  formulate  the 
state  platforms  of  their  party,  which  said  state  platform  of  each  political  party  shall 
be  framed  at  such  time  that  it  shall  be  made  public  not  later  than  six  o'clock  in  the 
afternoon  of  the  following  Thursday.  They  shall  also  proceed  to  elect  a  state  cen- 
tral committee  to  consist  of  at  least  three  (3)  members  from  each  congressional 
district,  who  shall  hold  office  until  a  new  state  central  committee  shall  have  been 
selected.  In  each  year  of  the  general  November  election  at  which  electors  of  presi- 
dent and  vice  president  of  the  United  States  are  to  be  chosen,  they  shall  also 
nominate  as  the  candidates  of  their  party  as  many  electors  of  president  and  vice 
president  of  the  United  States  as  the  state  is  then  entitled  to,  and  it  shall  be  the 
duty  of  the  secretary  of  state  to  issue  certificates  of  nomination  to  the  electors  so 
nominated,  and  to  cause  the  names  of  such  candidates  for  elector  to  be  placed  upon 
the  ballots  at  the  ensuing  November  election. 

Membership  in  the  state  convention  shall  not  be  granted  to  a  party  nominee  for 
a  state  office  or  office  of  senator  or  assemblyman  who  has  become  such  by  reason  of 
his  name  having  been  written  on  a  ballot,  and  who  has  not  had  his  name  printed 
on  the  primary  ballot  by  having  had  a  nomination  paper  filed  in  his  behalf,  as  pro- 
vided in  section  5  of  this  act ;  and,  in  every  such  case,  a  vacancy  shall  be  deemed  to 
exist ;  and  any  vacancy  thereby  existing,  or  existing  because  no  nomination  for  such 
office  has  been  made,  or  for  any  other  cause,  shall  be  filled  as  hereinafter  provided. 
In  any  senatorial  district  represented  by  a  hold-over  senator  there  shall  be  chosen 
at  such  primary  election  by  the  electors  of  every  political  party  one  delegate  to  the 
state  convention,  who  shall  have  nomination  papers  circulated  in  his  behalf,  shall 
have  his  name  placed  upon  the  ballot,  and  shall  be  chosen  in  the  same  manner  as  a 
state  senator  is  nominated  from  any  senatorial  district ;  but  no  such  delegate  shall 
be  disqualified  by  reason  of  holding  any  office,  nor  shall  any  filing  fee  be  required  in 
order  to  have  his  name  placed  upon  the  ballot.  The  term  "hold-over  senator"  as 
herein  used  shall  apply  to  a  state  senator  whose  term  of  office  extends  beyond  the 
first  Monday  in  January  of  the  year  next  ensuing  after  the  primary  election,  and 
the  term  "hold-over  senatorial  district"  shall  apply  to  the  district  represented  by 
such  hold-over  senator. 

In  the  event  that  there  shall  not  have  been  filed  any  nomination  paper  for  a  can- 
didate for  any  state  office  or  office  of  senator  or  assemblyman  by  the  electors  of  any 
political  party,  the  vacancy  thus  created  in  the  state  convention  of  such  party  shall 
be  filled  as  follows : 

(c)  If  the  vacancy  occurs  in  a  senatorial  or  assembly  district  situated  wholly 
within  the  limits  of  a  single  county  or  city  and  county,  by  appointment  by  the  newly 
elected  county  central  committee  of  such  party  in  such  county  or  city  and  county. 

(&)  If  the  vacancy  occurs  in  a  senatorial  or  assembly  district  comprising  two  or 
more  counties,  by  appointment  by  the  newly  selected  chairman  of  the  several  newly 
elected  county  central  committees  of  such  party  in  such  counties. 

(c)  If  the  vacancy  occurs  in  a  state  office,  by  appointment  by  the  state  central 
committee  of  such  party. 

Such  delegate  so  appointed  shall  present  to  the  convention  credentials  signed  by 
the  chairman  and  the  secretary  of  the  appointing  committee,  or  by  the  appointing 
chairmen  of  the  several  committees,  as  the  case  may  be. 

3.  Each  state  central  committee  may  select  an  executive  committee,  to  which 
executive  committee  it  may  grant  all  or  any  portion  of  its  powers  and  duties.  It 
shall  choose  its  officers  by  ballot  and  each  committee  and  its  officers  shall  have  the 
power  usually  exercised  by  the  such  committees  and  the  officers  thereof  in  so  far  as 


DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.  25 

may  be  consistent  with  this  act.  The  various  officers  and  committees  now  in  exist- 
ence shall  exercise  the  powers  and  perform  the  duties  herein  prescribed  until  their 
successor  are  chosen  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  act. 

4.  At  each  August  primary  election  there  shall  be  elected  in  each  county  or  city 
and  county  a  county  central  committee  for  each  political  party,  which  shall  have 
charge  of  the  party  campaign  under  general  direction  of  the  state  central  committee 
or  of  the  executive  committee  selected  by  such  state  central  committee.  In  all 
counties  or  cities  and  counties  containing  five  or  more  assembly  districts  the 
county  central  committee  shall  be  elected  by  assembly  districts  and  shall  consist 
of  one  member  for  each  one  thousand  electors  or  fraction  thereof  in  each  such 
assembly  district  registered  as  belonging  to  the  political  party  with  which  such 
electors  are  affiliated  as  shown  by  the  register  of  voters  of  such  county  or  city  and 
county  on  the  first  Monday  of  June  next  preceding  said  primary  election.  In  all 
counties  containing  less  than  five  assembly  districts  the  county  central  committee 
shall  be  elected  by  supervisorial  districts,  and  the  number  to  be  elected  from  any 
supervisorial  district  shall  be  determined  as  follows :  the  number  of  electors  regis- 
tered in  any  supervisorial  district  as  intending  to  affiliate  with  any  political  party 
shall  be  divided  by  one  twentieth  of  the  number  of  electors  registered  in  the  entire 
county  as  intending  to  affiliate  with  said  party,  as  such  registration  exists,  in  each 
case,  on  the  first  Monday  of  June  next  preceding  the  primary  election ;  and  the 
integer  next  larger  than  the  quotient  obtained  by  such  division  shall  constitute  the 
number  of  members  of  the  county  central  committee  to  be  elected  by  such  party  in 
said  supervisorial  district.  The  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  in  each  county 
or  city  and  county  shall,  between  the  first  Monday  and  the  second  Monday  of  June 
next  preceding  the  primary  election,  complete  the  number  of  members  of  the  county 
central  committee  allotted  to  each  assembly  district  or  supervisorial  district,  as  the 
case  may  be,  by  the  provisions  of  this  subdivision.  Each  candidate  for  member  of 
a  county  central  committee  shall  appear  upon  the  ballot  upon  the  filing  of  a  nomin- 
ation paper  according  to  the  provisions  of  section  5  of  this  act,  signed  in  his  behalf 
by  the  electors  of  the  political  subdivision  in  which  he  is  a  candidate,  as  above 
provided ;  and  the  number  of  candidates  to  which  each  party  is  entitled,  as  herein- 
before provided,  in  each  political  subdivision,  receiving  the  highest  number  of  votes 
shall  be  declared  elected.  Each  county  central  committee  shall  meet  in  the  court 
house  at  its  county  seat  on  the  second  Tuesday  in  September  following  the  August 
primary  election,  and  shall  organize  by  selecting  a  chairman,  a  secretary  and  such 
other  officers  and  committees  as  it  shall  deem  necessary  for  carrying  on  the  campaign 
of  the  party. 

Vacancies. 

Sec.  25.  In  case  as  a  result  of  any  primary  election  a  person  has  received  a 
nomination  to  any  elective  office  without  first  having  filed  nominating  papers  and 
having  his  name  printed  on  the  primary  election  ballot,  he  may  at  least  thirty  days 
before  the  day  of  election  cause  his  name  to  be  withdrawn  from  nomination  by 
filing  in  the  office  where  he  would  have  filed  his  nominating  papers  had  he  been  a 
candidate  for  nomination,  his  request  therefor  in  writing,  signed  by  him  and  acknowl- 
edged before  the  county  clerk  of  the  county  in  which  he  resides,  and  no  name  so 
withdrawn  shall  be  printed  on  the  election  ballot  for  the  ensuing  general  election. 
The  vacancy  created  by  the  withdrawal  of  such  person  as  aforesaid,  or  on  account 
of  the  ineligibility  of  such  person  to  qualify  as  a  candidate  because  of  the  inhibitions 
of  subdivision  8  of  section  5  of  tJiis  act  shall  not  be  filled.  In  all  other  cases 
vacancies  occurring  after  the  holding  of  any  primary  election  may  be  filled  by  the 
party  committee  of  the  city,  county,  city  and  county,  or  state,  as  the  case  may  be, 
unless  such  vacancy  occurs  among  candidates  chosen  at  the  primary  election  to  go 
on  the  ballot  for  the  succeeding  general  election  for  a  judicial,  school,  county,  or 
township  office  according  to  the  provisions  of  section  23  of  this  act,  in  which  case 
that  candidate  receiving  at  said  primary  election  the  highest  vote  among  all  the 
candidates  for  said  office  who  have  failed  to  receive  a  sufficient  number  of  votes  to 
get  upon  said  ballot  according  to  the  provisions  of  said  section  23,  shall  go  upon 
said  ballot  to  fill  said  vacancy. 


26  DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW. 

Tie  vote. 

Sec.  26.  In  case  of  a  tie  vote,  if  for  an  office  to  be  voted  for  wholly  within  one 
county  or  city  and  county,  the  county,  city  and  county  or  city  board,  as  the  case  may 
be,  shall  forthwith  summon  the  candidates  who  have  received  such  tie  votes  to 
^  appear  before  such  board,  and  such  board  in  the  presence  of  such  candidates  shall 
determine  the  tie  by  lot.  In  the  case  of  a  tie  vote  for  an  office  to  be  voted  for  in 
more  than  one  county,  such  tie  shall  be  determined  by  lot  by  the  secretary  of  state 
in  the  presence  of  the  candidates  or  their  legally  appointed  representatives.  Such 
summons  must  in  every  case  be  mailed  to  the  address  of  the  candidate  as  it  appears 
upon  his  afiBdavit  of  registration. 

Errors  and  omissions. 

Sec.  27.  Whenever  it  shall  be  made  to  appear  by  affidavit  to  the  supreme  court 
or  district  courts  of  appeal  or  superior  court  of  the  proper  county  that  an  error  or 
omission  has  occurred  or  is  about  to  occur  in  the  placing  of  any  name  on  an 
official  primary  election  ballot,  that  any  error  has  been  or  is  about  to  be  committed 
in  printing  such  ballot,  or  that  any  wrongful  act  has  been  or  is  about  to  be  done  by 
any  judge  or  clerk  of  a  primary  election,  county  clerk,  registrar  of  voters  in  any 
city  and  county,  canvassing  board  or  any  member  thereof,  or  other  person  charged 
with  any  duty  concerning  the  primary  election,  or  that  any  neglect  of  duty  has 
occurred  or  is  about  to  occur,  such  court  shall  order  the  officer  or  person  charged 
with  such  error,  wrong  or  neglect  to  forthwith  correct  the  error,  desist  from  the 
wrongful  act  or  perform  the  duty,  or  forthwith  show  cause  why  he  should  not  do  so. 
Any  person  who  shall  fail  to  obey  the  order  of  such  court  shall  be  cited  forthwith 
to  show  cause  why  he  shall  not  be  adjudged  in  contempt  of  court. 

Contest  of  nomination. 

Sec.  28.  Any  candidate  at  a  primary  election,  desiring  to  contest  a  nomination 
of  another  candidate  for  the  same  office,  may,  within  five  days  after  the  completion 
of  the  official  canvass,  file  an  affidavit  in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  the  superior 
court  of  the  county  in  which  he  desires  to  contest  the  vote  returned  from  any  pre- 
cinct or  precincts  in  such  county,  and  thereupon  have  a  recount  of  the  ballots  cast 
in  any  such  precinct  or  precincts,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  section. 
Such  affidavit  must  specify  separately  each  precinct  in  which  a  recount  is 
demanded,  and  the  nature  of  the  mistake,  error,  misconduct,  or  other  cause  why 
it  is  claimed  that  the  returns  from  such  precinct  do  not  correctly  state  the  vote 
as  cast  in  such  precinct,  for  the  contestant  and  the  contestee.  The  contestee 
must  be  made  a  party  respondent,  and  so  named  in  the  affidavit.  No  personal 
service  or  other  service  than  as  herein  provided  need  be  made  upon  the  contestee. 
Upon  the  filing  of  such  affidavit  the  county  clerk  shall  forthwith  post  in  a  con- 
spicuous place  in  his  office,  upon  a  bulletin  board  to  be  prepared  for  that  purpose, 
and  to  have  upon  it  in  conspicuous  letters  the  words  "Notice  of  primary  election 
contests''  a  copy  of  the  affidavit.  Upon  the  filing  of  such  affidavit  and  the  posting 
of  the  same,  the  superior  court  of  the  county  shall  have  jurisdiction  of  the  subject 
matter  and  of  the  parties  to  such  contest,  and  all  candidates  at  any  such  primary 
election  are  permitted  to  be  candidates  under  this  act,  upon  the  condition  that  such 
jurisdiction  for  the  purposes  of  the  proceeding  authorized  by  this  section  shall  exist 
in  the  manner  and  under  the  conditions  provided  for  by  this  section.  The  con- 
testant on  the  date  of  filing  such  affidavit,  must  mail  a  copy  thereof  to  the  contestee 
in  a  sealed  envelope,  with  postage  prepaid,  addressed  to  the  contestee  at  the  place 
of  residence  named  in  the  affidavit  of  registration  of  such  contestee,  and  shall  make 
an  affidavit  of  such  mailing  and  file  the  same  with  the  county  clerk  to  become  a 
part  of  the  records  of  the  contest.  Within  two  days  after  the  expiration  of  the 
time  for  filing  such  affidavits,  the  county  clerk  shall  present  all  such  affidavits  and 
proof  of  posting  as  aforesaid  to  the  judge  of  the  superior  court  of  the  county,  or  any 
judge  acting  in  his  place,  or  the  presiding  judge  of  the  superior  court  of  a  county 
or  city  and  county,  or  any  one  acting  in  his  stead,  which  judge  shall,  upon  such 
presentation,  forthwith  designate  the  time  and  place  where  such  contest  shall  pro- 
ceed, and  in  counties  or  cities  and  counties  where  there  are  more  than  one  superior 
judge,  assign  all  the  cases  to  one  department  by  the  order  of  such  court.     Such  order 


DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.  27 

must  so  assign  such  case  or  cases,  and  fix  such  time  and  place  for  hearing,  which 
time  must  not  be  less  than  one  nor  more  than  three  days  from  the  presentation  of 
the  matter  to  the  court  by  the  county  clerk,  as  herein  provided.     It  shall  be  the  duty 
of  the  contestee  to  appear  either  in  person  or  by  attorney,  at  the  time  and  place 
so  fixed,  and  to  take  notice  of  the  order  fixing  such  time  and  place  from  the  records 
of    the    court,    without    service.     No   special    appearance    of    the    contestee    for   any 
purpose  shall  be  permitted,  and  any  appearance  whatever  of  the  contestee  or  any 
request  of  the  court  by  the  contestee  or  his  attorney,  shall  be  entered  as  a  general 
appearance  in  the  contest.     No  demurrer  or  objection  can  be  taken  by  the  contestee 
in  any  other  manner  than  by  answer,  and  all  the  objections  of  the  contestee  must  be 
contained  in  his  answer  in  the  contest.     The  court  if  the  contestee  shall  appear, 
must  require  the  answer  to  be  made  within  three  days  from  the  time  and  place  as 
above  provided,  and  if  the  contestee  shall  not  appear  shall  note  his  default,  and 
shall  proceed  with  all  convenient  speed.     If  the  number  of  votes  which  are  sought 
to  be   recounted,   or  the   number  of  contests  are  such   that   the  judge  shall   be  of 
opinion  that  it  will  require  additional  judges  to  enable  the  contest  or  contests  to  be 
determined  in  time  to  print  the  ballots  for  the  election,  if  there  be  only  one  judge  for 
such  county,  he  may  obtain  the  service  of  any  other  superior  judge,  and  the  pro- 
ceedings shall  be  the  same  as  herein  provided  in  counties  where  there  is  more  than 
one   superior  court  judge.     If  the  proceeding  is   in   a   county  or  city   and  county 
where  there  is  more  than  one  superior  court  judge,  the  judge  to  whom  the  case  or 
cases  shall  be  assigned,  shall  notify  the  presiding  judge  forthwith,  of  the  number  of 
judges  which  he  deems  necessary  to  participate,  in  order  to  finish  the  contest  or 
contests  in  time  to  print  the  ballots  for  the  primary  election,  and  the  said  presiding 
judge  shall  forthwith  designate  as  many  judges  as  are  necessary  to  such  completion 
of  such  contest,  by  order  in  writing,  and  thereupon  all  of  the  judges  so  designated 
shall  participate  in  the  recount  of  such  ballots  and  the  giving  of  judgment  in  such 
contest  or  contests  in  the  manner  herein  specified.     The  said  judges  so  designated 
by  said  last  mentioned  order,  including  the  judge  to  whom  said  contests  were  origi- 
nally assigned,  shall  convene  upon  notice  from  the  judge  to  whom  such  contest  or 
contests  were  originally  assigned,  and  agree  upon  the  precincts  which  each  one  of 
such  judges  will  recount,  sitting  separately,  and  thereupon  such  recount  shall  proceed 
before  each  such  judge  sitting  separately,  as  to  the  precincts  so  arranged,  in  such 
manner  that  the  recount  shall  be  made  in  such  precincts  before  each  such  judge  as 
to  all  the  contests  pending,  so  that  the  ballots  opened  before  one  judge  need  not  be 
opened  before  another  judge  or  department,  and  the  proceedings  before  such  judge  in 
making  such  recount  as  to  the  appointment  of  the  clerk  and  persons  necessary  to  be 
assistants   of   the   court   in   making   the   same,   shall   be   the  same   as   in   contested 
elections,  and  the  judge  shall   fix  the  pay  or  compensation  for  such   persons  and 
require  the  payment  each  day  in  advance,  of  the  amount  thereof  by  the  person  who 
is  proceeding  with  and  requiring  the  recount.     When  the  recount  shall  have  been 
completed  in  the  manner  herein  required,   if  more  than  one  judge  has  taken  part 
therein,  all  the  judges  who  took  part  shall  assemble  and  make  the  decision  of  court, 
and  if  there  be  any  differences  of  opinion,  a  majority  of  such  judges  shall  finally 
determine  all   such  questions,  and  give  the  decision  or  judgment  of  the  court  in 
such  contest  or  contests,  separately.     Such  decision  or  judgment  of  the  court  shall 
be  final  in  every  respect,  and  no  appeal  can  be  had  therefrom.     The  judgment  shall 
be  served  upon  the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  by  delivery  of  a  certified  copy 
thereof,  and  may  be  enforced  summarily  in  the  manner  provided  in  section  27  of 
this  act,  and  if  the  contest  proceeds  in  more  than  one  county,  and  the  nominee  is 
to  be  certified  by  the  secretary  of  state  from  the  compilation  of  election  returns  in 
his  ofiice,  then  the  judgment  in  each  county  shall  show  what,  if  any  changes  in  the 
returns  in  the  office  of  the  secretary  of  state  relating  to  such  county  or  city  and 
county,  ought  to  bo  made,  and  all  such  judgments  shall  be  served  upon  the  secretary 
of  state,  by  the  delivery  of  a  certified  copy,  and  he  shall  make  such  changes  in  the 
record  in  his  office  as  such  judgment  or  judgments  require,  and  conform  his  com- 
pilation and  his  certificate  of  nomination  in  accordance  therewith.

DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW. 


THE  DIRECT  PRIMARY  LAW  IN  OPERATION. 

Assemblyman  C.  C.  Young,  author  of  the  bill. 

(March  16,  1914.) 

GENERAL   CONSIDERATIONS. 

Before  entering  into  any  detailed  explanation  of  the  workings  of  the 

California  direct  primary  law,  a  half  dozen  general  statements  regarding 

the  law  may  properly  be  made. 


TIME  AND  NATURE  OF  PRIMARY  ELECTION. 

'3.  1.  Party  nominations  for  the  placing  of  party  candidates  on  the  ballot 

for  the  general  election  in  November  are  by  this  law  now  brought  about  by 
party  primary  elections  to  be  held  on  the  last  Tuesday  in  August  preceding 
the  November  election.     Although  these  primary  elections  are  in  reality  dis- 

S 12, 1 1.  tinct  and  separate  party  elections  on  a  separate  and  distinct  ballot  for  each 
party,  they  are,  for  the  sake  of  convenience  and  economy,  all  held  on  the 
same  day,  in  the  same  place,  and  before  the  same  set  of  election  oflScials. 
Each  of  these  parties,  wherever  qualified  to  so  participate,  will  have  its 
separate  party  ticket  at  the  election  booth,  containing  the  names  of  all 

I  5.  f  6.  such  aspirants  for  nomination  for  each  office  as  have  complied  with  the 
provisions  of  the  law  as  hereinafter  set  forth. 

This  consolidation  of  primary  elections  for  the  various  parties  is  made 
feasible  through  the  fact  that  voters  in  registering  have  in  most  cases 
stated  their  party  affiliations,  and  the  election  officers  are  therefore  able 
to  hand  to  each  voter,  as  he  presents  himself,  his  proper  party  ballot.     If 

I  W-  he  has  not,  in  registering,  affiliated  himself  with  any  party,  he  is,  for  pur- 

poses of  the  primary,  regarded  as  a  non-partisan ;  and  as  such  he  is  fur- 
nished, not  with  a  party  ballot,  but  with  a  ballot  containing  the  names  of 
all  candidates  for  non-partisan  offices,  as  hereinafter  described. 

Thus  every  voter,  whether  registered  as  a  partisan  or  not,  can  now 
participate  in  a  primary  election ;  the  only  restriction  being  that  only  those 
who  are  members  of  any  particular  party  are  permitted  to  take  part  in 
the  councils  of  that  party  in  nominating  its  party  candidates. 

PARTIES  QUALIFIED  TO  TAKE  PART  IN   PRIMARY. 

1 1, 1 9a.  2.  The  August  primary  election  may  be  participated  in  by  all  political 

parties  which,  at  the  last  general  election,  polled,  for  any  of  its  candidates 
voted  on  throughout  the  state,  at  least  three  per  cent  of  the  entire  vote  of 
the  state ;  or,  for  any  one  of  its  candidates  who  was  the  joint  candidate 
of  itself  and  another  party,  at  least  six  per  cent  of  such  vote.  By  this 
provision  the  Democratic,  Progressive,  Prohibitionist,  Republican,  and 
Socialist  parties  all  qualified  at  the  last  presidential  election  for  taking 
part  in  the  primary  election  of  1914. 

In  addition  to  the  parties  which  have  qualified  for  the  primary  as  above 

J 1. 1 9b.  outlined,  any  other  party  may  also  qualify  in  either  of  two  ways :  iirat, 
by  registering  under  its  party  name  (or  under  its  proposed  party  name, 
if  it  is  a  new  party)  at  least  three  per  cent  of  the  total  registration  of 
the  state ;  or  second,  by  filing  with  the  secretary  of  state  a  petition  for  the 
formation  of  such  party,  containing  the  names  of  signers  equal  in  number 

1 1.  f  9c.  to  at  least  three  per  cent  of  the  registration  of  the  state  for  the  last 
general  election.  The  only  restriction  on  the  formation  of  such  new  party 
is  that  its  party  name  shall  not  be  so  similar  to  the  name  of  an  existing 
party  as  to  mislead  the  voter. 

Thus,  by  these  various  provisions,  it  is  made  possible  that  any  new 
party  large  enough  to  contain  at  least  three  per  cent  of  the  electorate  may 


ANALYSIS   OF   DIRECT   PRIMARY  LAW.  63 

qualify  to  take  part  in  the  primary  election.  This  power  of  establishing 
a  new  party  w-as  not  provided  for  in  any  primary  law  before  this  year, 
and  undoubtedly  constitutes  one  of  the  most  important  additions  in  the 
revision  of  the  statute. 

THE    PRIMABY   FOR    NON-PARTISAN    OFFICES. 

3.  All  candidates  for  any  judicial  office,  school  office,  county  office,  or 
township  office  are  hereafter  to  be  nominated  on  a  strictly  non-partisan 
basis,  and  all  the  aspirants  for  nomination  to  each  of  such  offices  are  to  5 12,  i  6. 
be  placed  on  all  the  ballots  of  every  political  party  participating  in  the 
election,   in   such  a   manner  that   the  ballots  of  all  the  parties  shall  be  8  5. 1 6. 
identical  as  to  the  candidates  for  thes'e  non-partisan  offices.     These  non- 
partisan  candidates   shall   also   have   their   names   appear  on   a   separate 
special   non-partisan  ballot  to   be  voted,   as  stated  above,   only  by   those  ;  12,  j  1. 
electors  who,  in  registering,  did  not  declare  their  party  affiliations. 

For  each  of  these  non-partisan  offices  the  two  candidates  who  receive 
the  highest  number  of  votes  (or  the  one  candidate,  provided  he  receives  a 
majority  vote)   shall  go  upon  the  ballot  at  the  November  election  without  8  23. 
any  party  designation  whatever. 

The  extension  of  these  non-partisan  offices  to  apply  to  all  county  offices, 
just  as  they  have  been  previously  applied  to  all  municipal  offices  under 
the  charters  of  most  cities,  constitutes  what  is  possibly  the  most  important 
change  in  the  recent  revision  of  the  primary  law.  It  seems  generally 
conceded  that  the  next  step  will  logically  be  the  application  of  the  non- 
partisan feature  to  state  and  legislative  offices  as  well,  thus  permitting 
national  party  designations  and  affiliations  to  apply  only  to  national  issues. 

ELECTORS    QUALIFIED   TO   VOTE    AT   PRIMARY. 

4.  As  indicated   above,  except  to  the  extent  of  voting  for  candidates 
for  non-partisan  offices,  no  voter  is  permitted  to  participate  in  an  August  |  ^ 
primary  election  unless  he  has  stated  on  his  affidavit  of  registration  with 
what  party  he  intends  to  affiliate  at  the  ensuing  primary  election — whether 
Republican,   Progressive,   Democratic,  etc. ;   and   at   the  election   he  shall 
receive  the  ballot  only  of  that  party   with   which   he  has  registered  his 
affiliation.     Nor,  except  for  candidates  for  such  non-partisan  offices,  is  any  §  1094. 
voter  permitted   to   sign    the   nomination   paper   for  any   candidate   to   be    ° "    °  ^ 
voted  on  at  such  election  unless  he  is  registered  as  belonging  to  the  party 

under  which  the  nomination  is  being  made.     Nor  is  any  voter  qualified  to  supremo 
participate   in   any   August  primary  election   or  to  sign   any   nomination  dSon, 
paper  for  a  candidate  to  be  voted  on  at  such  election,  unless  he  has  regis-  z^ansky 
tered  since  the  first  day  of  January  preceding  the  election.  (s.  f. 

INDEPENDENT    NOMINATIONS    SUBSEQUENT    TO    PRIMARY. 

5.  An  aspirant  for  any  office  not  non-partisan,    (t.  e.,  not  a  judicial,  5  5,  j  g, 
school,  county,  or  township  office),  may,  by  the  provisions  of  section  1188  f.oV^code. 
of  the  Political  Code,  also  get  upon  the  ballots  of  the  November  election 

as  an  independent  candidate,  providing,  first,  that  he  secures  a  nominating 
petition  of  at  least  one  per  cent  of  the  vote  in  his  district  at  the  last 
preceding  election,  none  of  the  signers  of  which  petition  has  voted  at  the 
recent  primary  election ;  and  second,  that  he  himself  was  not  a  candidate 
for  such  office  at  such  primary  election. 

This  method  of  getting  upon  the  ballot  is  prohibited  to  candidates  for 
non-partisan  office,  for  the  reason  that  every  candidate  for  this  class  of 
office  is  from  the  beginning  an  independent  candidate,  and  has  run  as  such 
ftl  the  primary — a  primary,  moreover,  so  far  as  the  non-partisan  office  is 
concerned,  at  which  all  aspirants  are  permitted  to  contest,  and  in  which 
all  electors  are  permitted  to  vote,  whether  registered  as  partisan  or  non- 
partisan.    To  permit  an  aspirant  for  such  an  office  to  become  an  inde- 


64  DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW. 

pendent  candidate  after  the  primary  at  which  other  independent  candi- 
dates have  qualified,  would  be  to  give  one  independent  candidate  an  unfair 
advantage  over  another.  If  candidates  for  non-partisan  office  were  per- 
mitted to  qualify  in  November  under  the  provisions  of  section  1188,  it 
would  soon  occur  that  no  non-partisan  candidate  would  run  except  in  this 
V.  manner,  and  the  primary,  with  its  great  service  of  weeding  out  minority 

candidates,  would  soon  become  a  dead  letter  so  far  as  such  offices  are 
concerned.  Accordingly  this  method  of  securing  an  independent  nomina- 
tion is  now  restricted  to  candidates  for  offices  which  are  not  on  a  non- 
partisan basis. 

METHOD  OF   NOMINATION   AT  THE  PRIMARY. 

6.  An  August  primary  election  is  conducted  exactly  like  the  general 
election  in  November.  The  election  officers  and  their  duties  are  the  same. 
The  voter  stamps  a  cross  (  X  )  opposite  the  name  of  his  choice  for  each 
office  in  the  usual  manner.     The  votes  are  counted,  returns  are  made  to 

S!  15-22.  the  boards  of  supervisors  and  canvassed  by  them,  results  are  recorded  or 
transmitted  to  the  secretary  of  state — all  as  in  the  general  election.  Of 
all  the  candidates  for  each  of  the  offices  on  the  Republican  ballots  the  one 
receiving  the  highest  vote  is  the  Republican  nominee,  to  go  upon  the 
general  ballot  as  such  at  the  November  election.  Similarly  the  candidate 
receiving  the  highest  number  of  votes  on  the  Progressive  ballots  is  the 
Progressive  nominee,  and  so  on. 

i  23.  The  only  exceptions  to  this  method  of  nomination  are  for  the  judicial, 

school,  county,  and  township  offices,  in  which  case,  as  has  already  been 
stated,  the  two  candidates  for  each  office  receiving  the  highest  number  of 
votes  shall  be  the  nominees  on  the  November  ballot,  or  the  one  candidate 
providing  he  receives  a  majority  of  all  votes  cast  for  the  office. 

A.  c.  A.  19.  Assembly  Constitutional  Amendment  No.  19,  now  pending  and  to  be 
voted  upon  next  November,  very  wisely  permits  that  any  county  candidate 
receiving  a  clear  majority  over  all  competitors  shall  be  declared  elected  at 
the  primary,  without  being  obliged  to  run  again  in  November.  Thus,  in 
the  case  of  such  a  candidate,  the  primary  would  become  a  final  election 
instead  of  a  merely  eliminating  election  as  at  present.  This  provision  as 
to  a  candidate  receiving  a  majority  is  already  in  force  in  most  chartered 
cities,  but  is  constitutionally  forbidden  elsewhere  until  Amendment  No.  19 
is  adopted. 

THE    OPERATION    OF    THE    LAW. 

Let  us  now  in  narrative  form  and  in  a  strictly  non-technical  fashion 
examine  the  workings  of  this  law,  by  showing  in  their  order  the  various 
steps  to  be  taken  by  the  candidate  and  the  voter  in  carrying  out  its 
provisions. 

THE   QUALIFYING   OF   A   PARTY  FOR   THE   ELECTION. 

« 1.  f  9b.  As  outlined  in  2  above,  an  opportunity  is  given  any  political  party  to 

qualify  for  participation  in  the  primary  election  by  securing  at  least 
three  per  cent  of  the  current  registration.     In  order  to  convey  accurate 

8  4. 1 1.  information  as  to  the  progress  of  this  registration,  both  to  the  proponents 
of  the  political  party  interested  and  to  the  secretary  of  state,  whose  duty 
it  is  to  certify  what  parties  are  qualified  to  take  part  in  the  primary,  four 
registration  reports  are  required  to  be  made  to  the  secretary  of  state's 
office  by  the  various  county  clerks,  in  February,  March,  June  and  July  of 
each  even  numbered  year.     (Form  1.) 

THE   CALLING   OF  THE  ELECTION. 

§  4, 1  L  At  least  forty  days  before  the  last  Tuesday  in  August,  the  date  of  the 

August  primary   election,   the   secretary   of  state  shall   transmit   to   each 


ANALYSIS  OF  DIRECT   PRIMARY  LAW.  65 

county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters,  a  notice  designating  the  offices  for  which 
candidates  are  to  be  nominated  at  such  election,  and  the  names  of  the 
political  parties  qualified  to  participate  in  such  election.      (Form  2.) 

Within  ten  days  after  the  receipt  of  such  notice,  the  county  clerk  or  §  4.  ^  2. 
registrar  shall  publish  so  much  thereof  as  shall  be  applicable  to  his  county 
{Form  3),  once  each  week  for  two  successive  weeks  in  not  more  than  two 
newspapers  of  the  county. 

THE   NOMINATION    PAPER   AND   ITS    SIGNERS. 

As  a  prerequisite  for  placing  upon  the  primary  ballot  of  any  political  §  5, 1 1. 
party  the  name  of  any  candidate  for  any  office  except  a  non-partisan  office 
(i.  e.,  a  judicial,  school,  county,  or  township  office),  a  paper  placing  such 
candidate  in  nomination  must  be  signed  by  the  voters  of  such  party,  exam- 
ined by  the  county  clerk  as  to  correctness  and  validity  of  signatures,  and, 
(xcept  in  the  case  of  papers  nominating  members  of  the  county  central  5  e,  n  1,  2. 
committee,  filed,  as  provided  below,  with  the  secretary  of  state. 

The  signatures  to  such  nomination  paper  must  not  be  obtained  by  the  55^4 
candidate  himself,  nor  by  any  one  connected  with  the  office  of  the  county 
clerk  or  registrar  of  voters,  but  by  electors  of  the  county  in  which  the 
paper  is  circulated,  called  verification  deputies,  and  appointed  as  herein-  §  5,  i  2. 
after  set  forth. 

The  nomination  paper  is  prepared  in  sections  (Form  8),  each  section  55,1(3. 
containing  at  the  head  the  statement  of  the  signers  thereto,  in  which  the 
voter  after  stating  his  party  affiliation,  states  that  he  hereby  nominates 
such  candidate  for  such  office,  that  he  will  support  his  nomination  in  the 
ensuing  election,  and  that  he  has  not  nominated  any  other  candidate  for 
the  same  office.  No  such  paper  shall  be  signed  earlier  than  seventy  days 
nor  later  than  forty  days  prior  to  the  date  of  the  August  primary.  Below 
this  statement  are  blank  lines  in  which  the  voter  may  sign  his  name  and 
residence,  and  in  which  may  also  be  added  the  precinct  of  the  signer  and 
the  date  of  signing.  Each  sectioji  must,  for  convenience  of  the  county 
clerk,  be  signed  only  by  voters  of  the  same  city  or  town,  or  territory  of 
the  county  outside  of  any  city  or  town,  and  all  signatures  on  each  section 
must  be  numbered.  At  the  end  of  each  section  of  the  nomination  paper 
the  verification  deputy  must  swear  that  every  signature  thereon  was  made 
in  his  presence,  and  is,  to  the  best  of  his  knowledge  and  belief,  the  genuine 
signature  of  the  person  whose  name  it  purports  to  be. 

NUMBER  OF   SIGNATURES   REQUIRED. 

The  number  of  signatures  required  to  such  nomination  paper  is  not  less  5  5,  j  5.  6. 
than  one  half  of  one  per  cent  in  the  case  of  a  candidate  for  an  office  to 
be  voted  on  throughout  the  state  (in  other  cases  not  less  than  one  per 
cent),  and  not  more  than  two  per  cent,  of  the  highest  vote  cast  at  the 
last  general  election,  in  the  political  subdivision  in  which  the  candidate 
seeks  nomination,  for  any  candidate  of  his  political  party  who  ran  as  a 
cardidate  of  such  party  only — that  is,  without  the  endorsement  of  any 
other  party. 

This  low  percentage  requirement  necessitates  for  a  candidate  for  assem- 
blyman, for  instance,  in  a  district  of  ordinary  size,  only  thirty-five  or  forty 
nomination  papers  to  be  signed,  thus  allowing  the  candidate  to  carefully 
select  those  who  are  asked  to  sign,  and  making  his  nomination  paper  a 
really  important  and  weighty  endorsement  of  his  candidacy. 

No  more  than  a  two  per  cent  quota  of  nomination  papers  is  permitted  §  6,  j  4,  5. 
to  be  filed,  and  no  more  than  three  per  cent  is  allowed  to  be  secured,  thus 
serving  a  double  purpose  of  preventing  the  persistent  circulation  of  nomi- 
nation papers  from  becoming  a  nuisance  to  the  public,  and  also  preventing 
any  candidate  from  attempting  to  "tie  up"  voters  in  advance  by  getting  a 
large  percentage  of  their  names  signed  up  for  himself. 
5 — DL 


66  DIRECT   PRIMARY  LAW. 

8  6,  n  5.  If  through  excess  of  zeal  on  the  part  of  the  candidate's  verification 

deputies;  or  through  a  lack  of  "team  work"  on  their  part,  more  than  this 
three  per  cent  of  signatures  are  secured,  the  candidate  must  notify  each 
signer   whose  name  appears  on  sections   of  the  paper  which  create  the 
v^  excess  of  signatures  over  the  permitted  three  per  cent,  that  the  section 

S  5,  f  4.  containing  his  signature  has  not  been  used  or  filed ;  and  he  must  be  able  to 
swear  in  the  statement  required  to  be  made  by  him,  that  he  has  complied 
with  this  requirement. 

NOMINATION   PAPERS  FOB  NON-PARTISAN   OFFICES. 

8  5,113.  Aspirants  for  nomination  to  non-partisan  offices  {i.  e.,  judicial,  school, 

county,  and  township  offices)  proceed  as  outlined  above  except  in  the  fol- 
lowing particulars:  first,  the  nomination  paper  (Form  9)  may  be  signed 
by  any  voter  irrespective  of  party  affiliation,  and  shall  nowhere  contain 

§  5, 1  9.  any  reference  to  party ;  second,  the  number  of  signatures  required  for 
nomination  is  not  less  than  one  half  of  one  per  cent  nor  more  than  two  per 
cent  of  the  total  vote  cast  by  all  political  parties  at  the  last  election  in  the 
state  or  political  subdivision  thereof  in  which  the  candidate  seeks  nomina- 
tion ;  and  third,  that,  although  in  the  case  of  candidates  for  the  supreme 
court  or  district  courts  of  appeal  and  for  state  superintendent  of  public 

§  6, !  1,  2.  instruction  nomination  papers  are  to  be  filed  with  the  secretary  of  state,  all 
other  nomination  papers  for  non-partisan  offices  shall  be  filed  with  the 
county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters. 

VERIFICATION   DEPUTIES   AND   THEIR  APPOINTMENT. 

Having  described  the  nomination  paper  by  which  the  name  of  the  can- 
didate is  placed  upon  the  primary  ballot,  let  us  now  discuss  the  verification 
deputies,  whose  function  it  is  to  secure  the  signatures  to  such  nomination 
paper.  As  in  the  former  instance  we  will  first  confine  our  attention  to 
those  offices  which  are  not  non-partisan. 

The  first  thing  to  be  done  by  any  candidate  who  seeks  the  nomination 
of  his  party  for  any  office  will  naturally  be  the  selection  of  one  or  more 
verification  deputies  to  circulate  his  nomination  paper  for  signatures. 
5  5.  J  2a.  rpijg  candidate  accordingly  signs  a  paper  (Forms  4  and  5)  appointing  cer- 
tain electors  of  a  county  as  verification  deputies  to  secure  signatures  in 
such  county  to  his  nomination  paper,  and,  at  or  before  the  time  he  files 
his  nomination  paper,  files  these  appointments  with  the  county  clerk  to 
indicate  the  authentic  list  of  deputies.  In  case  the  office  to  which  he  seeks 
nomination  covers  a  district  comprising  more  than  one  county,  the  candi- 
date must  repeat  this  process  in  each  of  the  counties  in  which  he  desires 
his  nomination  paper  to  be  circulated  and  signed,  since  verification 
deputies  are  allowed  to  secure  signatures  only  in  the  county  of  their 
residence. 

There  is  an  alternative  method  provided  for  the  appointment  of  veri- 
fication deputies,  which,  though  it  may  be  used  in  any  case,  is  designed 
primarily  to  be  employed  by  friends  or  admirers  of  the  candidate,  who 
belong  to  some  party  other  than  his  own,  and  who  wish  to  try  to  secure 
for  him  the  endorsement  of  their  party,  thus  providing  for  him  another 
§  5,  J  2b.  party  nomination  in  addition  to  the  nomination  he  seeks  in  his  own  party. 
By  this  alternative  method  the  list  of  verification  deputies  is  appointed, 
5  5,  J  3.  and  filed,  and  the  sections  of  the  nomination  paper  after  being  signed  are 
collected,  arranged,  and  filed,  not  by  the  candidate,  either  personally  or 
through  agents  named  or  deputized  by  him,  but  by  a  self-appointed,  inde- 
pendent committee  of  five  electors  registered  with  the  party  to  which  belong 
the  friends  of  the  candidate  who  are  seeking  to  give  him  their  party 
endorsement. 


ANALYSIS   OF   DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.  67 

In  order  to  safeguard  a  candidate  of  one  party  from  being  proposed  §5,  u  2b. 
for  a  party  endorsement  which  he  does  not  want,  and  which,  if  secured, 
might  embarrass  him  in  his  own  party,  the  law  provides  that  the  paper 
in  which  the  committee  of  five  appoints  its  verification  deputies  {Forms 
6  and  7)  must  contain  a  statement  that  they  have  secured  the  consent 
of  the  candidate  "to  be  thus  proposed  for  nomination  to  such  office." 
There  is  nothing,  however,  to  prevent  the  candidate  coupling  with  this  con- 
sent a  statement  to  the  committee  that  the  one  nomination  he  is  personally 
seeking  is  that  of  his  own  party,  and  that,  while  he  should  appreciate  the 
honor  of  Voluntary  endorsement  by  other  parties,  he  himself  shall  take  no 
action  toward  securing  such  endorsement,  either  by  circulating  or  filing 
nomination  papers  or  in  any  other  manner. 

Verification  deputies  appointed  to  circulate  the  nomination  papers  for  5  5-  ^  2a,  2b. 
candidates  for  nomination   to  judicial,  school,   county  or  township  offices 
are  named  exactly  as  indicated  above  except  that,  in  the  paper  in  which 
they  are  appointed,  there  is  no  reference  whatever  to  any  political  party. 

THE   ARRANGEMENT   AND   FILING    OF    NOMINATION   PAPERS. 

After  the  verification  deputies  have  concluded  the  obtaining  of  signa-  5  5'  II  3. 
tures  to  the  nomination  paper  and  attested  their  authenticity,  the  various 
sections  thereof  must  be  returned — to  the  candidate,  if  he  appointed  the 
verification  deputies,  or  to  some  member  of  the  committee  of  five,  if  the 
deputies  were  appointed  by  the  committee — to  be  arranged  and  filed  by 
the  candidate  or  by  the  committee,  as  the  case  may  be.  The  various  sec- 
tions shall  first  be  numbered  in  order  and  fastened  together  by  cities  or  §  5,  j[  4. 
towns  or  the  portion  of  the  county  outside  of  such  cities  and  towns.  An 
index  of  precincts  {Form  10)  shall  then  be  made  for  convenience  of  the 
county  clerk,  in  such  a  manner  that,  while  he  has  before  him  the  affidavits 
of  registration  of  any  precinct  of  any  city,  he  can  by  aid  of  the  index  at 
once  turn  to  and  check  the  signature  of  every  voter  who  is  registered  in 
that  particular  precinct.  At  least  forty  days  prior  to  the  primary  election, 
the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  receives  the  nomination  paper  with 
its  several  sections  and  index  properly  arranged  and  bound.  He  then 
compares  the  signature  of  each  name  upon  the  paper  with  the  correspond- 
ing signature  on  the  original  affidavit  of  registration  in  his  office,  noting 
also,  except  in  case  of  a  candidate  for  a  non-partisan  office,  whether  the 
voter  who  has  signed  a  paper  proposing  the  candidate  for  nomination  in  a 
certain  party  has  registered  as  affiliating  with  that  same  party.  After 
marking  "not  sufficient"  and  deducting  from  the  total  of  names  on  the 
nomination  paper  such  names  as  do  not  meet  the  above  requirements,  the 
county  clerk  or  registrar  shall  prepare  a  certificate  {Forms  12,  13  and 
Uf )  showing  the  number  of  valid  signatures  on  the  nomination  paper ;  §  6, 1 1,  2. 
and,  in  behalf  of  the  candidate  or  the  committee  of  five,  as  the  case 
may  be,  shall  see  that  within  five  days  after  having  been  left  for 
examination  all  nomination  papers  for  county  or  township  offices  and  for 
members  of  the  county  central  committee  are  filed  in  his  own  office,  and 
that  all  other  nomination  papers  are  filed  in  the  office  of  the  secretary  of 
state. 

THE  FILING  FEE. 

A  fee  for  filing  nomination  papers  must  be  paid  by  each  candidate  for  5  7. 
office,  before  his  papers  can  be  filed.  In  various  subdivisions  of  section  7 
the  language  indicates  that  no  additional  fee  is  required  for  the  filing  of 
other  nomination  papers  in  the  endorsement  of  the  candidate.  For  county 
offices,  or  for  township  offices  having  a- salary  of  over  nine  hundred  dollars 
per  year,  the  fee  is  ten  dollars  and  is  paid  to  the  county  clerk.  For  minor 
township  offices,  and  for  offices  carrying  no  salary,  there  is  no  fee.  For 
all  other  offices,  state,  district,  congressional  and  legislative,  the  fee  is  paid 


68  DIRECT  PRIMARY  LAW. 

to  the  secretary  of  state,  and  is  as  follows :  state  offices  and  United  States 
senator,  fifty  dollars ;  district  and  congressional  offices,  twenty-five  dollars ; 
legislative  offices  (senate  and  assembly),  ten  dollars. 

THE   candidate's    AFFIDAVIT. 

5  5  J  4^  At  least  thirty-five  days  prior  to  the  August  primary  election,  the  can- 

didate shall  file  in  the  place  where  his  nomination  paper  is  required  to  be 
filed,  an  affidavit  (Form  11)  stating  his  residence,  election  precinct,  and 
the  office  to  which  he  aspires,  with  the  additional  statement  that  if  nom- 
inated he  will  accept  such  nomination,  and  that,  if  subsequently  elected, 
he  will  accept  the  office.  This  affidavit  is  entirely  independent  of  any 
nomination  paper,  v/hether  such  nomination  paper  is  filed  by  the  candi- 
date for  his  own  party,  or  by  a  committee  for  an  endorsing  party. 
Accordingly  only  one  affidavit  shall  be  filed,  even  though  the  candidate 
may  be  aware  that  friends  in  other  parties  are  attempting  to  endorse  his 
candidacy  by  giving  him  their  party  nomination. 

Inasmuch  as  the  filing  of  nomination  papers  does  not  now  have  to  be 
done  by  the  candidate  or  his  agent,  but,  in  the  case  of  endorsed  candidates, 

5  5.  14.  may  be  done  by  the  "five  electors,"  the  language  of  the  old  law  is  changed 
accordingly ;  and  the  former  provision,  "each  candidate  shall  file  with  his 
nomination  paper  or  papers  his  affidavit,"  has  now,  as  indicated  above, 
been  changed  to,  "each  candidate  shall  file  in  the  place  where  his  nomina- 
tion paper  is  required  to  be  filed  ...  his  affidavit,"  etc.  This  change 
in  wording  emphasizes  the  fact,  enlarged  upon  below,  that  the  nomination 
paper  no  longer  is  necessarily  filed  through  the  agency  of  the  candidate. 

RESTRICTIONS  UPON   CANDIDATES. 

In  the  law  of  1913  there  has  been  retained  from  the  law  of  1911  the 
5  5,  ir  8.  following  language,  found  in  subdivision  8  of  section  5  of  the  present  act : 

'■  .  .  .  a  candidate  who  has  filed  nomination  papers  as  one  of  the 
candidates  for  nomination  to  any  office  on  the  ballots  of  any  political 
party  at  a  primary  election  under  the  provisions  of  this  act,  and  who  is 
defeated  for  such  nomination,  shall  be  ineligible  for  nomination  to  the 
same  office  at  the  ensuing  general  election,  either  as  an  independent  candi- 
date or  as  the  candidate  of  any  other  party."  There  are  those  who  think 
that  the  above  inhibition  violates  in  spirit  the  new  provision  also  found 
5  5.  f  4.  in  section  5  of  the  present  law,  in  the  last  sentence  of  subdivision  4 : 

"Nothing  in  this  act  contained  shall  be  construed  to  limit  the  rights  of 
any  person  to  become  the  candidate  of  more  than  one  political  party  for 
the  same  office  upon  complying  with  the  requirements  of  this  act." 

In  any  discussion  of  the  operation  of  the  primary  law,  a  reconciling  of 
the  apparent  conflict  between  these  two  subdivisions  of  section  5  seems  a 
very  important  matter,  since  it  will  possibly  play  a  rather  prominent  part 
in  a  good  many  candidacies  for  minor  offices  under  the  law.  Accordingly 
let  us  go  into  this  phase  of  our  subject  in  rather  full  detail.  In  consid- 
ering the  seeming  conflict  between  these  two  subdivisions  of  section  5,  a 
clear  distinction  must  be  recognized  between,  first,  the  man  who  loses  his 
own  party  nomination,  and  at  the  same  time  wins  the  endorsement  of 
another  party ;  and  second,  the  man  who  wins  the  nomination  of  his  own 
party,  but  is  not  endorsed  by  some  other  party  which  has  attempted  to 
endorse  him. 

AS    TO   THE    CANDIDATE    WHO   LOSES    IN    HIS   OWN    PARTY. 

In  the  first  case,  although  future  experience  may  prove,  in  view  of  this 

new  policy  of  permitting  more  than  one  nomination,  that  it  will  be  wise 

5  5.  18,  to  cut  out  this  provision  of  subdivision  8,  which  would  seem  to  compel  the 

candidate  who  has  lost  the  nomination  he  sought  in  his  own  party  also  to 

forfeit  the  nomination  of  an  endorsing  party,  there  are  nevertheless  good. 


ANALYSIS   OP   DIRECT   PRIMARY  LAW.  69 

logical  reasons  for  such  an  inhibition.  Very  possibly,  in  fairness  to  the 
opponent  who  has  defeated  him  for  nomination,  there  would  seem  to  be 
justice  in  the  position,  that  the  candidate,  having  failed  in  the  party  of  his 
choice  for  a  nomination  in  which  he  has  initiated  proceedings  and  "filed 
nomination  papers,"  should  be  precluded  from  another  chance  at  election 
by  running  as  the  candidate  of  some  other  party  against  his  successful 
competitor  in  his  own  party.  In  a  sense,  the  spirit  of  the  primary  as  a 
method  of  choosing  party  candidates  would  seem  to  be  violated,  if  a  can- 
didate who  had  been  turned  down  for  nomination  in  his  own  party  were 
permitted  to  again  enter  the  lists  as  an  opponent  to  his  party's  nominee.    , 

AS    TO    THE    CANDIDATE    WHO    WINS    IN    BOTH    PARTIES. 

Of  course,  it  is  understood  that  in  case  the  candidate  wins  his  own 
party  nomination,  and  also  by  either  the  endorsement  or  the  "writing  in" 
process,  gets  the  greatest  number  of  votes  in  some  other  party,  he  shall  be 
considered  as  also  nominated  by  this  other  party,  provided  that,  in  case  he 
secures  this  nomination  by  having  his  name  written  in,  the  number  of 
votes  so  "written  in"  is  as  great  as  the  minimum  number  of  nomination  §  5,  n  8. 
papers  which  would  have  been  required  to  place  his  name  upon  the  ballots 
of  such  party. 

A  candidate  of  one  party,  who  is  also  nominated  by  another  party  by 
having  his  name  "written  in,"  as  outlined  above,  may  withdraw  as  the 
candidate  of  this  second  party,  and  the  vacancy  thus  created  shall  pot  be 
filled  by  such  party.  Neither  shall  a  vacancy  be  filled  which  has  been  §  25. 
created  when  an  endorsed  or  "written  in"  candidate  fails  to  secure  his 
own  party  nomination,  and  thus,  as  outlined  above,  becomes  ineligible  as 
the  candidate  of  the  party  which  has  endeavored  to  make  him  its  nominee 
by  endorsing  or  "writing  in"  his  name. 

AS    TO    THE    CANDIDATE    WHO    WINS    IN    HIS    OWN    PARTY. 

As  to  the  second  case,  however,  where  a  man  is  sufficiently  popular  in 
his  own  party  to  win  in  it  the  nomination  he  has  sought,  must  he,  by  the 
provisions  of  subdivision  8,  forfeit  that  nomination  providing  it  transpires,  8  5.  f  8. 
after  his  friends  in  another  party  have  sought  their  party's  endorsement 
of  his  candidacy,  that  this  other  party  refuses  to  bestow  such  endorsement? 

That  such  a  technical  construction  of  the  law  is  contrary  to  its  whole  5  5,  j  4. 
intent  and  spirit  becomes  at  once  apparent  when  it  is  reflected  that,  under 
such  construction,  the  failure  of  one  party  to  give  to  the  candidate  of 
another  party  an  endorsement  in  which  he  has  but  a  passive  interest  and 
which  he  may  have  done  nothing  to  secure,  would  not  only  deprive  him 
of  the  nomination  he  has  won  in  his  own  party,  but  would  also  at  the  S  25, 
same  time,  on  account  of  the  provisions  of  section  25,  deprive  his  own 
party  of  having  any  nominee  at  all.  Even  if  it  could  be  argued  that  the 
candidate  should  be  thus  penalized  for  having  consented  that  another 
party  should  attempt  to  endorse  him,  it  would  at  least  seem  contrary  to 
the  spirit  of  the  law  that  his  party,  which  has  had  nothing  to  do  with 
his  "consent,"  should  be  similarly  penalized. 

WHAT    THE    LAW    REALLY    PROVIDES. 

However,  an  examination  of  the  law  shows  that  the  ineligibility  to 
another  party  nomination  is  limited  to  "a  candidate  who  has  filed  nomina- 
tion/papers  as"  a  candidate  for  a  designated  party  nomination,  and  at  the  5  5,  I  8. 
primary  has  been  defeated  for  such  party  nomination.  This  ineligibility 
requires  two  things :  first,  an  act  by  the  candidate  himself — namely,  the 
filing  of  his  nomination  papers  for  a  designated  party  nomination  which 
he  seeks ;  and  second,  his  defeat  for  such  nomination  at  the  primary  by 
the  members  of  such  party. 


J  5,  18 


70  DffiECT   PRIMARY  LAW. 

8  5.  19.  ^"^^   ineligibility — and   such   only — to   other   party   nominations  exists 

fawoflgii  ^°  ^^^  present  law.  Such  ineligibility  also  existed  in  the  law  of  two 
years  ago.  Thus,  if  a  person  takes  the  initiative  and  seeks  a  party  nom- 
ination under  the  first  alternative  method  provided  by  the  present  law,  by 
§  5.  f  2a.  which  he  himself  appoints  his  own  verification  deputies  (subdivision  2a 
8  5.  II  3.  of  section  5)  ;  himself  collects  and  arranges  the  sections  of  his  nomination 
jg^g  paper  for  filing  (subdivision  3  of  section  5)  ;  and  himself  files  such  paper 

(subdivision  8  of  section  5)  ;  and  then  is  defeated  at  the  primary  for  such 
nomination — he  by  such  defeat  becomes  ineligible  to  any  other  party  or 
independent  nomination. 

It  is  clear,  however,  that  none  of  these  things  takes  place  in  the  case 
of  a  person  proposed  for  endorsement  in  another  party  not  his  own, 
through  the  action  of  a  committee  of  five  from  such  other  party  (subdi- 
8  5.  I  2b.  vision  26  of  section  5).  This  committee  of  five  being  self-constituted  and 
self-appointed,  acts  for  itself  and  not  as  agent  of  the  person  whose  endorse- 
ment they  propose.  He  but  consents  to  accept  an  endorsement  if  others 
secure  it,  and  in  no  way  becomes  responsible  for  the  filing  of  nomination 
papers  or  for  any  other  act  performed  toward  the  securing  of  such  endorse- 
ment. Hence  the  loss  of  such  endorsement  fails  to  come  under  the  inhibi- 
tion laid  down  in  subdivision  8  of  section  5,  and  should  not  deprive  the 
candidate  of  the  nomination  he  has  won  in  his  own  party. 

It  is,  of  course,  true  that  the  word  "endorsement,"  as  used  above  in 
this  analysis,  does  not  occur  in  express  terms  anywhere  in  the  primary 
law.  But  it  is  none  the  less  true  that  an  endorsement  is  precisely  what 
will  take  place  when  any  party  nominates  the  candidate  of  another  party, 
since  no  candidate  who  seeks  party  nomination  will  attempt  to  pose  as 
belonging  to  two  parties,  or  is  apt  to  come  out  openly  by  taking  the  initia- 
tive in  attempting  to  secure  the  nomination  of  a  party  not  his  own,  provid- 
ing such  other  party  has  its  own  candidates  for  the  office. 

CERTIFICATION   AND   PUBLICATION   OF   CANDIDATES'    NAMES. 

S 10.  At  least  thirty  days  prior  to  the  August  primary  election  the  secre- 

tary of  state  shall  certify  to  the  county  clerk  or  registrar  of  voters  of  each 
county  the  name,  address  and  party  of  each  state,  district,  congressional 
or  legislative  candidate  to  be  voted  for  in  such  county,  except  that  all 
judicial    and    school    offices    shall    be    certified    without    regard    to    party 

89  10.  11.  (I'orm  15).  The  county  clerk  or  registrar  shall  thereupon  publish  these 
names  in  the  same  general  form  {Form  16)  as  furnished  by  the  secretary 
of  state,  and  shall  add  thereto  a  list  of  candidates  for  all  county  and  town- 
ship offices  together  with  the  statement  that  candidates  for  all  non-partisan 
offices  may  be  voted  for  by  any  elector,  whether  he  has,  in  registering, 
declared  his  party  affiliation  or  not.  He  shall  also  designate  the  location 
of  various  polling  places  where  the  election  will  be  held,  together  with 
the  date  of  the  election  and  the  hours  of  voting.  Such  publication  shall 
be  made  once  each  week  for  two  successive  weeks  in  not  more  than  two 
newspapers  of  the  county. 

ROTATION    OF   CANDIDATES'    NAMES. 

8 12,  \  7a.  All  candidates,  except  candidates  for  legislative  or  county  offices,  who 

are  to  be  voted  on  in  more  than  one  assembly  district,  shall  have  their 
names  so  arranged  upon  the  ballots  in  the  various  assembly  districts,  that 
no  candidate  shall  have  the  advantage  of  any  other  in  the  position  of  his 
name.  For  example,  each  of  four  candidates  for  nomination  for  governor 
shall  have  his  name  placed  first  in  twenty  assembly  districts,  second  in 
twenty  others,  third  in  twenty  others,  and  last  in  the  final  twenty. 

8  12. 1  7c.  All   candidates    for   legislative   office,    including   candidates   as   delegate 

to  the  state  convention,  shall  have  their  names  placed  upon  all  ballots  in 


ANALYSIS   OF   DIRECT   PRIMARY   LAW.  71 

alphabetical  order.     All  candidates  for  county  oflfice  to  be  voted  on  through-  5 12,  if  7b. 
out  the  entire  county  have  their  names   rotate  by  supervisorial  districts 
unless  there  are  more  than  five  assembly  districts  in  the  county,  in  which 
case  they  rotate  by  assembly  districts. 

SAMPLE   BALLOTS. 

Sample  ballots  shall  be  sent  by  mail  to  all  voters  not  less  than  five  nor  :  13. 
more  than  ten  days  prior  to  the  August  primary  election.  Sample  ballots 
shall  no  longer  be  published  by  advertisement  in  newspapers.  The  sample 
ballot  to  be  sent  to  the  various  voters  shall  be  in  each  case  the  ballot  of 
the  party  with  which  the  voter,  in  registering,  has  declared  himself  aflSli- 
ated.  To  those  voters  who  declared  no  party  affiliation,  the  sample  ballot 
sent  shall  contain  only  the  names  of  candidates  for  the  non-partisan  offices. 

THE  PRIMARY   ELECTION. 

As  already  stated,  the  manner  of  preparing  the  ballots,  of  voting,  and  §§  12-21. 
of  counting  the  votes  in  a  primary  election,  as  prescribed  in  sections  12 
to  21  of  this  law,  differs  in  no  essential  particular  from  that  of  a  general 
November  election.     As  in  the  case  of  the  general  election,  primary  elec-  5 14. 
tion  polls  are  now  open  from  6  a.m.  to  7  p.m.,  instead  of  from  6  a.m.  to 
G  p.m.  as  formerly. 

CANVASS   OF   VOTES    AND   RETURNS. 

The  board  of  supervisors  of  each  county  commence  the  canvass  of  votes  9  22. 
at  1  p.m.  of  the  second  day  after  the  election,  or  as  soon  thereafter  as  the 
returns  are  all  in.  They  must  complete  their  canvass  by  the  sixteenth  day 
after  the  election.  As  soon  as  the  results  are  ascertained,  the  county  clerk 
must  send  a  statement  of  such  results  to  the  secretary  of  state.  The  secre- 
tary of  state  shall  at  once  compile  these  results  and  file  a  statement  of 
them  in  his  office.  The  county  clerk  shall  likewise  compile  and  file  a 
statement  of  the  results  of  the  election  for  county  and  township  offices. 

CERTIFICATIONS   OF    NOMINATION. 

The  board  of  canvassers  shall  issue  certificates  of  nomination  (Form  5  23. 
17)  to  the  successful  candidates  for  nomination  to  county  and  township 
offices — the  two  highest  for  each  office  except  for  a  candidate  who  polls  a 
majority  vote,  in  which  case  it  is  the  one  highest.  The  secretary  of  state 
shall  likewise  issue  certificates  of  nomination  to  the  successful  candidates 
for  nomination  to  all  state,  district,  congressional  and  legislative  offices 
(Form  18).  The  secretary  of  state  shall  also,  at  least  thirty  days  before 
the  November  election,  certify  to  each  county  clerk  or  registrar  the  names 
of  all  state,  district,  congressional,  and  legislative  nominees  to  be  voted 
for  at  such  election  by  the  voters  of  his  county,  showing  in  each  case  the 
name  of  the  political  party  or  parties,  if  any,  by  which  the  candidate  has 
been  nominated,  and  to  what  office  {Form  20). 

THE   STATE   CONVENTION. 

In  this  act  is  embodied  the  "Wisconsin  plan"  for  state  conventions,  a  5  24.  5  2. 
plan  which  is  briefly  as  follows :  All  nominees  for  state  officers,  if  any, 
except  for  judicial  and  school  offices,  and  all  legislative  nominees,  of  each 
party  participating  in  the  September  primary,  meet  simultaneously  in 
separate  party  conventions,  at  the  state  capitol,  on  Tuesday,  three  weeks 
after  the  primary  election.  To  these  are  added  twenty  additional  dele- 
gates for  each  party,  consisting  of  one  delegate  from  each  hold-over  sena- 
torial district,  who  shall  have  nomination  papers  circulated  in  his  behalf, 
shall  have  his  name  placed  upon  the  ballot,  and  shall  be  elected  and  certi- 
fied in  the  same  manner  as  a  state  senator  is  nominated. 


72  DIRECT   PRIMARY  LAW. 

Each  convention  shall  forthwith  formulate  its  party  platform,  and  all 
platforms  shall  be  made  public  at  the  same  time.  The  wisdom  is  obvious 
of  having  a  platform  framed  by  those  who,  if  elected,  are  to  carry  out  its 
provisions.  Each  convention  also  selects  its  state  central  committee,  not 
less  than  three  from  each  congressional  district,  and  in  "presidential  years" 
nominates  its  presidential  electors  (Form  19). 
lli'h  c  ^^  *^^  event  of  a  vacancy  in  the  state  convention  of  any  political  party, 

provision  is  made  for  the  filling  of  such  vacancies  by  county  central  com- 
mittees, or,  in  the  case  of  a  vacancy  caused  by  lack  of  a  nominee  to  a 
state  oflSce,  by  the  state  central  committee. 

THE  COUNTY   CENTBAL   COMMITTEE. 

S  24. 1  4,  In  the  present  law  the  old  county  convention  is  done  away  with ;  and 

the  selection  of  the  county  central  committee,  which  used  to  be  the  one 
function  of  such  convention,  is  now  made  by  direct  election  of  the  mem- 
bers thereof  at  the  August  primary  election.  These  candidates  for  the 
county  central  committee  are  placed  upon  the  ballot  by  means  of  nomina- 
tion papers,  and  are  elected  and  certified  in  the  same  manner  as  county 
ofl5cers  are  nominated  and  certified,  except  as  to  the  non-partisan  feature 
of  such  offices — a  party  central  committee  being  elected  for  each  party. 

In  all  counties  containing  more  than  five  assembly  districts  this  central 
committee  is  chosen  by  assembly  districts,  there  being  elected  from  each 
assembly  district  one  member  for  each  thousand  or  fraction  thereof  of  the 
party  reg'stration  as  such  registration  appears  on  the  first  Monday  of 
June  preceding  the  election.  In  all  other  counties  the  election  is  by 
supervisorial  districts  and  the  apportionment  is  so  arranged  that  the  num- 
ber from  each  district  will  vary  for  each  party  according  to  the  strength 
of  the  party  registration  for  that  district  as  it  appears  on  the  first 
Monday  of  June.  The  county  central  committee  in  all  except  the  three 
largest  counties  of  the  state  will  according  to  these  provisions  consist  of 
from  twenty  to  twenty-five  members  for  each  party,  as  appears  by  the 
following  illustration ; 

Suppose  the  Democratic  registration  of  a  certain  county  on  the  first 
Monday  of  June  is  7,000,  composed  of  500  Democrats  in  the  first  super- 
visorial district,  3,000  in  the  second,  1,000  in  the  third,  300  in  the  fourth 
and  2,200  in  the  fifth.  According  to  this  provision  of  the  law,  the  num- 
ber in  each  of  these  districts  is  to  be  divided  by  one  twentieth  of  the 
entire  Democratic  registration  for  the  county,  or,  in  this  case,  by  350 ; 
and  the  number  of  committeemen  for  each  district  is  the  integer,  or  whole 
number,  next  larger  than  the  quotient  obtained  by  such  division.  This 
vould  produce,  in  the  illustration  here  given,  two  Democratic  committee- 
men in  the  first  district,  nine  in  the  second,  three  in  the  third,  one  in  the 
fourth,  and  seven  in  the  fifth,  or  twenty-two  in  all.  Similarly  for  each 
of  the  other  parties  that  may  desire  to  select  a  county  central  committee. 
524.  J  4,  This  method  of  selecting  party  central  committees,  as  well  as  the  pro- 

tli,  I  7b.  vision  already  outlined  for  rotation  of  candidates'  names  on  the  ballot, 
will,  in  all  but  the  three  largest  counties  of  the  state,  require  a  separate 
and  distinct  ballot  for  each  supervisorial  district  of  the  county. 

TIE  VOTES    AND   ELECTION    CONTESTS. 

5  26.  Tie  votes  shall  be  determined  by  lot.     Any  candidate  desiring  to  contest 

the  nomination  of  any  other  candidate  for  the  same  office  may,  within  five 

§  28.  (ij^yg  after  the  completion  of  the  official  canvass,  institute  proceedings  for 

a  contest  for  the  election.  The  various  proceedings  of  such  contest  are 
veiy  fully  and  carefully  worked  out  in  this  act,  especial  pains  being  taken 
to  so  hasten  these  proceedings  as  to  determine  the  contest  in  time  for 
correctly  printing  the  ballots  of  the  November  election. 


ANALYSIS   OF   DIRECT   PRIMARY  LAW.  73 


LEGITIMATE   ELECTION    EXPENSES. 

A  list  of  eleven  classes  of  lawful  election  expenses  is  provided  for  in  s  29. 
this  act,  and  no  other  kind  of  election  or  campaigning  expenses  shall  be 
permitted  to  candidates.  No  limit  is  set  on  expenditures  of  the  candi- 
date, provided  the  expenses  are  all  as  limited  above  and  are  all  accounted 
for  and  sworn  to  by  the  candidate  in  a  detailed  statement  to  be  filed  within 
fifteen  days  after  the  primary  election  (Form  21). 

Such   statement  shall   also  state  in  detail   the  sources   of  all   moneys  §  30. 
received   by   the  candidate  in   assisting  his  candidacy,   together  with   the 
amount  expended  by  himself.     All  these  statements  of  receipts  and  expendi- 
tures shall  be  made  a  matter  of  public  record. 

Any  candidate  expending  money  unlawfully,  or  failing  to  make  a  true  §  31. 
and  complete  statement  of  his  receipts  and  expenditures,  shall  not  only  be 
guilty  of  a  misdemeanor,  but  shall  forfeit  his  office,  if  elected. 

REPEAL  OF  FORMES   ACT. 

This  direct  primary  law,  though  an  amendment,  section  by  section,  of  §  3G. 
the  primary  law  of  1911,  and  consequently  in  general  form  much  like  the 
preceding  act,  is  nevertheless  in  many  vital  features  very  different  from 
the  former  law,  which  law  is  accordingly  expressly  repealed  by  this  act. 
This  law  is  also  applicable  to  certain  municipal  elections,  but  these  are  so 
infrequent,  owing  to  the  express  election  provisions  of  most  city  charters, 
that  no  account  is  taken  of  them  in  the  foregoing  explanation.
